I was using ~amd64 networkmanager. After adding an overlay holding its own networkmanager ebuilds which I didnt notice, I updated to the latest version in the overlay. after noticing that, I wanted to fall back to main portage tree but since then networkmanager wont connect to my wifi. Tried both ~amd64 and stable. Am I doing something wrong or is it networkmanager? emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.44 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.38-gentoo x86_64)

Maybe you ought to look in /etc/wpa_supplicant/ for stale files?
Jeroen: sorry for the late reply. actually there was a file that held nothing more then something like # Generated by NetworkManager ... except for the comment it was empty so I never considered it a problem. to my surprice, deleting this file helped! still this leaves me somewhat doubtful - a file with nothing but a comment and some blank lines causes nm to launch wpa_supplicant several times? my itch is scratched but i'm not sure if this shouldnt be kept open till nm can clean up after itself
what does "rc-status | grep wpa_supplicant" tell you? NetworkManager does not start any wpa_supplicant by itself. It's relying on dbus service activation (if one program requests a services over dbus which is not running, dbus will start this service automatically). Dbus only starts "/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u". Check /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi* for more info. Whatever starts "/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -C" has nothing to do with networkmanager. I presume it might be /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 or /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant Based on log you posted - it seems NetworkManager is fighting with /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 or /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant for access. To make it work, please make sure to rc-update del both net.eth0 and wpa_supplicant. If that won't fix your problem, please re-open this ticket.
