I solved my problem. After the initial and working configuration for 
wpa_supplicant I also installed the wireless-tools. It was simply 
curiousity about the user interface of the latter. Sadly I forgot to 
unmerge it after playing around. Since the wireless-tools are preferred 
over wpa_supplicant by default the next boot tried to use the 
unconfigured wireless-tools.
