net-misc/networkmanager

It comes with CLI tools but it's usually used with a frontend GUI. See 
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NetworkManager#NetworkManager_GUI_bits_in_GTK

For KDE I use kde-misc/plasma-nm. If you don't have a desktop it propably 
makes more sense to just use wpa_supplicant directly.

If you use systemd net-misc/netctl has a nice curses UI but I've only tried on 
Arch.
