Hello, I have the same problem, but I try to add /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart in /etc/conf.d/local and it doesn't work. To solve this problem I unmerge ifplugd and restart my computer. emerge --unmerge sys-apps/ifplugd reboot It's not the good way, but it works.

Well, I unmerged ifplugd, emerged netplug and all is working fine. So there must be some incompatibility between openrc-0.6.4 and ifplugd (which seems quite abandoned to me). Maybe masking ifplugd in favor of netplug could have some sense.
I have removed sys-apps/ifplugd and am now using the built in carrier detection in dhcpcd-5 which seems to work fine
The wpa_supplicant_pre_start is never called, the ifplugd is called before and takes ownership of the interface.

Reverting hank of comment#7 solves the problem. As there is no changelog I cannot know why someone thought ifplugd can handle wireless. Even if it does know how to handle wireless, it uses the old wireless extensions and not cfg8022. Please revert.

Here is the commit that introduced this change. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/openrc.git;a=commit;h=4ea75dd1d6c1e475f103f027fd05861d237add4d The bug is bug #335494. So if I revert this, that bug comes back. Does ifplugd not work for wireless interfaces? If not I will do this revert. Thanks, William
if as bug #335494 is correct, then when ifplugd detects the kill switch is off, it should run wpa_supplicant.

This has been reverted in the overlay, and this will be included in the next release. Thanks, William
