are you running systemd or openrc or something else to init your system?
are you attempting gentoo netscripts, dhcpcd, wicd, networkmanager, or something else for network management?

Donahue,
i think openRC, I just did emerge wpa_supplicant
I kind of follow the gentoo handbook.
I 've used the command dhcpcd,yes. I 've used the rc-update command for my eth0 (this one works) but wlan0 doesn't work
oh i work command line
I installed portage stage3, i managed (with some help) to install the ethernet, and now i'm trying to install wlan0. (it's very hard)

/var/run/wpa_supplicant will not exist until wpa_supplicant is started. wpa_supplicant is ordinarily started as a secondary process by gentoo netscripts, dhcpcd, wicd, networkmanager, or something else. some of these will not create /var/run/wpa_supplicant
run what interface names are shown?

If wireless is working for you but you can't find /var/run/wpa_supplicant don't worry about it. Enjoy your wireless.
If no wireless:
| Code: | emerge netifrc
rc-update show | wgetpaste -t |
post url, look for net.lo, net.wlan0, net.eth0 in the default run level

| Code: | rc-update del net.wlan0 boot
rc-update add net.lo boot
|
do you wish to use dhcp (recommended for mobile) or fixed IP
resulting rc-update show should be:
net.eth0 default
net.lo boot
net.wlan0 default

Recommend | Code: | | nano /etc/conf.d/net |
and edit {replace my 192.168.1.x with your IP's} to
| Quote: | dns_servers="192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8"
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211"
#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=30
iwconfig_wlan0_mode="Managed"
config_wlan0="192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
routes_wlan0="default gw 192.168.1.1"
#dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10"
#config_wlan0="dhcp"
#
#config_eth0="ifconfig"
config_eth0="192.168.1.203 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255"
routes_eth0="default gw 192.168.1.1"
#dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
#config_eth0="dhcp" |
the lines | Quote: | wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211"
#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" |
reflect that nl80211 driver works for me so is not commented, wext driver also works for me but is commented as I prefer nl80211, the commented lines with dhcp are occasionally swapped in for testing

as your wpa_supplicant.conf substituting for yourkey
| Quote: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="MirrOrNet"
psk="yourkey"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
priority=40 |
then | Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart |
if fails | Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
dmesg | wgetpaste -t |

and then change yourkey to the passphrase for your router
another way is use wps if both nic and router have buttons

AAArgh I left off the closing }
However there is a more severe problem in dmesg: | Quote: | systemd-udevd[307]: inotify_init failed: Function not implemented
systemd-udevd[307]: error initializing inotify |
No inotify means no running udev means no xserver means no GUI ....

The good news is that udev is alive.
may be as simple as stopping enp3s0 before trying to start wlp2s0
in /etc/conf.d/net uncomment the wext line, comment out the nl80211 line and restart the interface, still failing, comment out iwconfig_wlp2s0_mode="Managed" nd restart the interface
your thought about "yourkey" versus just yourkey is a good one, I've seen that problem
