I am having issues getting wifi working since moving NetworkManager from wpa_supplicant to iwd. I think there must be something that I forgot to do during the transition. Can someone please tell me what I am missing? wpa_supplicant is not installed.

Code:
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
net.wlan0            | * Bringing up interface wlan0
net.wlan0            | *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
net.wlan0            | *   /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf not found                                                                                                                                   [ !! ]
net.wlan0            | * ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start


/etc/conf.d/net:

modules_wlan0="idw debug"
config_enp2s0="dhcp"
config_wlan0="dhcp"


Code:

# emerge -pv networkmanager

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

This is this is the USE flag enabled on NetworkManager with the version that I have installed.

with relevant dmesg output

here is the kernel version that I am running
Code:
uname -r

This might be more information that what is needed but I hope that someone can help.

Looks like you're using netifrc AND NM at the same time which causes conflicts.
There is no need to uninstal netifrc, but definitely remove them from runlevels. And you may consider removing interface-specific links from /etc/init.d so they won't be pulled in as dependencies (provide net)

Check out rc-status and rc-update (without parameters)

Thanks for your reply, I was not able to get back online ot see your post so I decided to just re-install. Had I had the chance to see your message I probably could have just did what you've suggested without going through the hassle of a new install.
