I think Florian meant the rfkill package:
net-wireless/rfkill
Install it, and run "rfkill list"; mine says:
# rfkill list
0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
31: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
As you can see, all of them say "Hard blocked: no". If in your case
one says "Hard blocked: yes", you can change it with "rfkill unblock
wlan0", for example.
Regards.
