Hi all,

After I installing gentoo and booting from hdd, wifi connection is not working anymore but I can connect on the livecd still setting up wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd.
Here is some command outputs:

lsusb
Code:

Is there any chance you're trying to connect to a TKIP secured network? If so, tkip for wpa_supplicant switched to disabled by default and such networks won't even show. So you could either fix the network encryption as TKIP is unsecure or if you can't - enable back tkip for wpa_supplicant

Regards,
Georgi

I'm pretty sure it's using WPA2-PSK/CCMP.

feindrial,

Your dmesg is missing any attempt to start wlp0s21f0u7i2. That name is USB port dependent too, you will hate that.

Make a file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, containing
Code:
# Fix our names as we have USB WiFi.
# ether 24:18:c6:4e:28:e2  The Wifi Dongle MAC Addr
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="24:18:c6:4e:28:e2 ", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="feindrial"


That will name the Wifi dongle with MAC Addr 24:18:c6:4e:28:e2 to feindrial.
Do not choose a name starting wlan. That will confuse the kernel.

How are you planning to command your wifi to start?
