I realized this morning, with a clearer head, that it might not be
clear if I'm still having trouble.
I am—the system was on overnight, and I can clearly see "zombie"
processes for NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant (states Dsl and D
respectively; when the system comes up and is working, that's Ssl and
S).
What other information might help?
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
(Curiously, that /var/run/wpa_supplicant path does not exist.)
equery shows netifrc is installed (and /etc/init.d/net.lo exists), but
"pgrep net." doesn't find any related programs running?
Restarting wpa_supplicant via rc-service _also_ exhibits the "hang"
behavior after
* Starting WPA Supplicant Daemon ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
I'm tempted to try "iwd" instead at this point, but IDK if that will
make a difference here.
I do have dhcpcd installed because openrc's USE flags include netifrc,
but neither is running.
