Complementing James comment, when I messed with Gentoo on a notebook I also tried the confusing and troublesome way: configuring wi-fi to connect at boot time. It was REALLY a challenge, maintaining a realistic configuration file, which would let you boot with network up equally while home and while at work. At the end of the day, I just regressed to no boot configuration and went with wicd or NetworkManager. When I came back to configuring my desktop, it felt strange to run dhcp at boot time, I even tried migrating a wired box to NetworkManager, but ended with a static config nevertheless.
