If the wlan0 failed to be configured within the given time frame then an appropriate message is given onto the console - and nothing more. However it is possible that a DHCP address could be derived some seconds later. This however isn't printed on the console - only in the syslog. Reproducible: Always
Please post your emerge --info and re-open this bug if it is still an issue.

What version of dhcpcd are you running? If you upgrade to openrc/baselayout-2 is this still an issue? Can you give me steps I can follow to reproduce this? Thanks, William
I use dhcpcd 4.0.15 and sys-apps/baselayout 1.12.14-r1 and I won't upgarde to baselayout-2 or openrc b/c I prefer to stay at a (mostly) stable Gentoo.

I'm re-opening this bug. The issue, as I understand it, is that when a wireless interface comes up, we do not print the address that is assigned to it with dhcp as we do with a wired interface. Am I understanding the issue correctly?
(In reply to comment #5) > Am I understanding the issue correctly? yes :-)
(In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #5) > > Am I understanding the issue correctly? > yes :-) The issue with printing an address of a wireless interface to the console during the boot process is that we would have to make the boot process stop and wait for the interface to be associated and receive an address from dhcp in order to print that address. Since that can take longer for a wireless interface than it does for a wired interface, especially in a situation like you are talking about involving trying multiple AP's, the scripts are designed to background once wpa_supplicant is active on the interface. The address isn't actually assigned until after the interface is associated with an AP. Because of that, I do not see a way that the address can be printed to the console. If anyone disagrees, feel free to re-open.
Opening to fix resolution.
This is the best resolution I can think of for this bug. As I said in comment #7, I'm not sure that there is anything we can do in openrc to display the address in this situation, and dhcpcd itself just logs the address.
