Solved and saved by wicd!
I am now sending this e-mail with my wireless connection. Don't know how
this magic happens but all is fine after the net stuff from baselayout
was thrown out the window and wicd installed as suggested by Alan on
another e-mail thread. I even get the wireless LED working. My
/var/log/messages is clean, etc. Great. Thanks. Since wpa_supplicant is
used by wicd the problem must be either the way /etc/conf.d/net is
handling the network setup or my ignorance on how to configure
wpa_supplicant by hand. The iwlagn driver is good.
