I'm using wicd which can't scan for networks. I've got linux-firmware installed and rt2800pci compiled as module.

Have you ever had this working under Gentoo, or is this your first time with it? The reason I ask is because it seems like some wireless cards don't quite have the kinks worked out yet in later kernels with linux-firmware. For example, I must use an older kernel with my Broadcom card or it won't work. It just won't.
If there is a specific proprietary driver for your wireless, try using a gentoo-sources-3.0.x kernel and that driver. If it works with that, you'll know the problem is that linux-firmware hasn't quite gotten it yet.

Yes I had. I ran my new system on the old kernel I had used but it doesn't even load any mod. (I'm not sure if rt2800pci is compiled) I had my wifi card working on 3.6.6 and 3.8.0 kernel. Now I've got 3.8.13. If my old kernel doesn't work I guess I've done something wrong but I have no idea what it is.
EDIT:
I've noticed something new in dmesg after upgrading kernel to 3.9.4:
| Code: | [4.747934] phy0 -> rt2x00_set_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 2872, rf: 0003, rev: 0200.

| I've reinstalled Gentoo. Everything works well on live CD in chroot but when I reboot it's the same problem again. This time, I used firmware from producer's site. |

| i highly suspect a wireless networking regression around 3.8 kernel series, my ath5k is dropping connection relentlessly in 3.9.5 & 3.9.4. im testing 3.4.47 to see if this is the case. i had noticed a loss of network performance in 3.9.4 on my laptop from 3.6.7. at first i suspected b43 as the problem, but this is transcending wifi boards, i have 3 wifi boards of different chipsets and all 3 are doing the same behavior. in another 2 hours if my net is still solid im wiping 3.9.x series and only having 3.4.47 |

I were not mouting /boot when I copied new kernel.  I guess that compiling cfg80211 or something related to it helped. |
