When I start my connection to the AP manually, everything works fine. Example: # wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf # dhcpcd wlan0 I get an IP-Address from my AP (verified via ifconfig) and the world is nice. Now, I want that to happen at system-startup, which in fact doesnt work. :( /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 is a symlink to /etc/init.d/net.lo my /etc/conf.d/net reads:modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" #iwconfig_wlan0="mode managed" #config_wlan0=( "dhcp" ) config_wlan0=( "192.168.178.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.178.255" ) routes_wlan0=( "default gw 192.168.178.1" ) This is what is looks like on the console: # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting wlan0 * Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...

what version of bash do you have ?
I have the same problem here after upgrading to bash-3.1_p16 which is marked stable in portage now. After falling back to bash-3.0-r12 everthing is fine again.
Created attachment 84765 [details, diff] Patch to fix wpa_supplicant for bash 3.1_p16 Apply this against /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/wpa_supplicant
Just did a quick and nasty patch to fix this for my laptop.
Yeah, well, as all the others, I have bash version 3.1_p16 installed.
I can only say - me too. bash-3.1_p16 broke my /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/wpa_supplicant. The provided patch solved the problem.
