Seems really weird. I can only think the following options:
1. Something is messing up with NetworkManager.
1.a. Can be possible that the /etc/init.d/net.* scripts are running
alongside NetworkManager? I don't use OpenRC (I moved to systemd), but
I clearly remember that for NetworkManager to run OK in Gentoo you had
to disable the net.* services in /etc/rc.conf:
rc_hotplug="!net.*"
1.b. Maybe something is wrong with your NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant
installation; try deleting (after making a backup, of course) the
following directories/files:
/etc/NetworkManager
/etc/wpa_supplicant
/etc/conf.d/net
and then emerge again both packages:
emerge -1v networkmanger wpa_supplicant
And try again after a reboot.
2. Maybe (for some weird reason) NetworkManager refuses to work in
your system. If this is the case, disable all your network services
(avahi*, cups, NetworkManager, net.*), and boot to a console. When I'm
dealing with this kind of stuff, I even disable X, just to be sure:
rc-update del NetworkManager
...
rc-update del xdm
reboot
When you are in your console, try connecting to a WEP access point by hand:
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid MYESSID key MYPASSWORD channel MYCHANNEL
dhclient/dhcpcd wlan0
If it works, then is something related to NetworkManager.
If it doesn't, I can't really thing of anything else at the moment.
Regards, and good luck.
