Getting a manager to write your wpa_supplicant.conf for you (in effect), has been the right way of configuring wifi for the average user for years now. It's a real shame that this isn't promoted more in the gentoo handbook and/or the Wifi guide. I added a patch to the wifi guide a while back, but I really find the gentoo documentation workflow so over-burdening that I usually work on gentoo-wiki instead. It's pretty dispiriting to see people using troublesome tools when there's better ways out there :( JB
