30 Yes, that was it, killing the dhcpcd made it possible to bring the interface up and associate with the AP.
31 As openrc was one of the packages upgraded yesterday (0.9.8.4 -> 0.9.9.1) I assume (guess) that is why dhcpcd gets started at boot.
32 Now I just have to figure out a way to stop this from happening.
