Code:

# /sbin/iwgetid -r

used to be my way of finding out what network im connected to.
But after reinstalling Gentoo, the command no longer has any output

even just

Code:

# /sbin/iwgetid

has no output

do you use wpa_supplicant? try `wpa_cli status` Perhaps you are simply not connected? Oh, also, try `ifconfig -a`. Perhaps you forgot about wifi hardware modules?
