Since yesterday my WLAN does not work under Linux. Under Window and Android there is not any problem to use the WLAN. Ifconfig shows the correct IP address for wlan0: root@lynx2:/root(28)# ifconfig ... wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.43 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:21:5c:00:67:4d txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 2 bytes 270 (270.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1 bytes 153 (153.0 B) Iwconfig shows the correct ESSID, but the Access Point is not associated: root@lynx2:/root(31)# iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"jrnet" Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off 'iwlist scan' shows the access point. root@lynx2:/root(27)# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -B5 -A 15 jrnet Cell 02 - Address: 30:46:9A:85:BC:DE Channel:12 Frequency:2.467 GHz (Channel 12) Quality=70/70 Signal level=-35 dBm Encryption key:on ESSID:"jrnet" Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Bit Rates:6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=000000071f57beee Extra: Last beacon: 43ms ago IE: Unknown: 00056A726E6574 IE: Unknown: 010882848B962430486C IE: Unknown: 03010C IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: 2F0104 IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : CCMP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK If I run wpa_supplicant manually, no error is shown, but nevertheless I can not access the Access Point: root@lynx2:/root(51)# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it Delete '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0' manually if it is not used anymore Failed to initialize control interface 'DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel'.

Are you sure that this is related to wireless-tools? They are not involved in any kind of WPA connection. # qlop -lu | tail may give you hints about which packages were upgraded recently. <3>WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect <3>CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="jrnet" auth_failures=12 duration=120 reason=WRONG_KEY This appears to be your AP rejecting your STA's attempt at authentication.
This seems to be more related to how wpa_supplicant work, or your AP configuration, than Gentoo. Could you try and take it upstream, and ask them to help you - they know this ins and outs of wpa_supplicant, which I don't that well.
