10 After you fix your kernel as advised by others, also fix your /etc/conf.d/net.

12 To specify the use of DHCP you would typically use this syntax, which is case
13 sensitive:
14
15 config_wlp7s0="dhcp"
16
17 If you want to specify particular parameters to dhcp for this interface try
18 something like this example:
19
20 dhcpcd_wlp7s0="-t 45"
21
22
23 You should also spend some time reading through
24 /usr/share/doc/netifrc-0.2.2/net.example.bz2 for more complex configurations.
