I'll second this one... You don't seem prepared for the testing tree...

Yes, that's my bet too, maybe a baselayout update followed by a wrong
etc-update?! I once had to remove the file and reemerge the app so it
would update the configuration.

To do that, I booted the livecd, chrooted and reemerged the failing
app, you could do that for your system, you'll probably get networking
without mess with ifconfig or iwconfig (because you seem unfamiliar
with these tools). There you could reemerge it all, even update it,
but sincerely, you should not need network to reemerge something
already emerged once (don't clean your distfiles before being sure you
don't need them anymore).
