Okay, I removed /etc/init.d/NetworkManager and now I have a wireless connection after reboot.
Incidentally, in pursuing that, I proved to my satisfaction that the output of the rc-status -a command is from /etc/runlevels with this script: cd /etc/runlevels diff -wy <(rc-status -a | sed -n -e '/^Dynamic/{=;q}' -e '/^Runlevel: /{s///;h}' -e '/^ /{s/ //;s/ .*//;G;s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/\2\/\1/p}' | sort) <(ls */*) On 2020-01-03 11:11, n952162 wrote:
What do I have to do to prevent NetworkManager from running? I am running a prepared gentoo image which has openrc and NetworkManager configured. The wpa_gui app doesn't see my wireless (but starting the wpa_supplicant from rc-service does). So, I removed NetworkManager with: rc-update delete NetworkManager rc-status lists it now as "inactive". But, it runs after reboot.
