yes i and i configured wpa_cupplicant and it works.
i would like to ask these questions more for now.
how fix this at wpa_gui, "wpa_gui could not get status from wpa_Supplicant"
and how to remove eth0 from boot level because it stops the booting also the same for wireless if i can fis the GUI. 
what would you prefer. wpa_gui or wicd. i have both of them installed but i dont know since i have problems with user rigs. wicd asks me that the user should be in sudo. for now i will work as root until i have time to read (assignments and practicals at uni) more here. if someone can help me to fix this fast without reading a lot i would really appreciate
so many problems this time with gentoo but i;m loving it :d |

Is your network device turned on? I had just installed wpa_gui and encountered the same problem. It turned out that the network device has been turned off. After I it turned back on, everything worked.

You can use the "RC_PLUG_SERVICES" variable to ignore initialization of network devices during the boot process.
E.g. to ignore eth0:
| Code: |
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0"
|
To ignore all network devices
| Code: |
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"
|
If you are using baselayout-1, this variable is set in "/etc/conf.d/rc". If you are using baselayout-2, the variable has a different name ("rc_hotplug") and is set in /etc/rc.conf.
Cheers,
Sino

I'm not very familiar with wicd or wpa_gui, but I think they can be configured to work with non-root users as well. I think both have daemons that are running (with root privileges) in the background, while the configuration is done using a client that connects to that daemons and which can be run with any user.
Cheers,
Sino

Where do i get this package now? because eudev breaks my box wifi
dmesg
| Code: |
62.133444] iwl4965 0000:06:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode' failed.
[ 62.133451] iwl4965 0000:06:00.0: no suitable firmware found!
|
seems i have to dig out the old ebuild or find the place where the firmware belongs and download it somewhere. |

In the kernel help you can read | Code: | CONFIG_IWL4965:
This option enables support for
Select to build the driver supporting the:
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
<http://intellinuxwireless.org/>.
The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
runs. |
Did you check if sys-kernel/linux-firmware could help?
Also, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel_microcode might help |

Unfortunately it won't, as that relates specifically to the microcode of Intel CPUs.
