Emerge wpa_supplicant (Version >=2.6-r2 is needed in order to get the CONFIG_MATCH_IFACE option added in April 2017.)
root #
emerge --ask net-wireless/wpa_supplicant
Complete its conf.d file with the -M
option for the wireless network interface:
FILE
/etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant_args="-B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
In case authentication for the wired interface is needed this configuration file should look like
FILE
/etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant_args="-ieth0 -Dwired -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant_wired.conf -B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
With the configuration done, run it as a service:
root #
rc-update add wpa_supplicant default
root #
rc-service wpa_supplicant start
