Looks like dhclient is trying to configure wifi0, which doesn't exist. |

What if you configure your wireless connection with iwconfig |
| 4 |
ex: |
| 5 |
iwconfig ath0 essid MyESSID key 1234567890 |
| 6 |
(adding any other options needed) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
then run |
| 9 |
dhcpcd ath0 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
You can also try setting up the wireless configuration in gentoo |
| 12 |
for /etc/conf.d/net or wireless and startup the network |
| 13 |
with /etc/init.d/net.ath0 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Here's a wiki explaining part of that process... |
