I'm lost and I don't know where to start. I've read alot in the manuals and I feel like I'm being pulled in several different directions with all the options there are for getting wifi to run. I've chosen to use NetworkManager, and nm-applet.

emerged: networkmanager, dhcpcd, nm-applet, linux-firmware, wireless-tools

I have a ath9k wireless driver that has been enabled in the kernel. I am able to modprobe it successfully.

Code:
tux user # ifconfig wlan0 up
tux user # ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether 78:e4:00:42:44:52  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
tux user # iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=14 dBm

          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: The connection is closed)

** (nm-applet:5980): WARNING **: Failed to initialize D-Bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

/etc/conf.d/NetworkManager
Code:
# If NetworkManager does not establish a connection within $INACTIVE_TIMEOUT

# continue to wait for a connection in background mode.
INACTIVE_TIMEOUT=1



Code:
/etc/rc.conf
rc_hotplug="!net*"


* EDIT - Working now *

I ran 'trayer' and then nm-applet, was able to add net connections. rebooted and voila, works.
