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=3D"!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.
