I've been spoiled by wired internet for sometime, and have recently moved. I need to setup a wifi connection. I've bought a Netgear ac1200 USB, and I'm trying to get it working with the Gentoo live USB.

following the instructions on the Gentoo wiki wifi page (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi), I get the following output.

lsusb:
Code:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0846:9053 Netgear, Inc. A6210


it's being recognized, so that's good. I was reading the wifi page some more and noticed it said that only
Code:
wpa_cli
is present. here is a snippet of it's output.

wpa_cli:
Code:

Interactive Mode

Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: (nil) - re-trying


when running
Code:
net-setup
, my USB wifi is registered as
Code:
wlp0s20f0u3
, so that's good it's being recognized.

when I go through the wizard and enter in the SSID and password, I get an error at step
Code:
Use DHCP to auto-detect my network setting
.

Code:

/use/sbin/net-setup: line 216: /sbin/dhcpcd: Input/output error


running
Code:
wpa_cli
after
Code:
net-setup
still produces the same error as above. how do I wifi from the Gentoo live minimal image?

I downloaded a newer Gentoo minimal install image (9-12-21), and copied over my older image (8-31-21), and it now works!
