I may look into that again in the evening but I'm quite sure that wpa_supplicant was running. I was able to run wpa_cli status without any weird errors or warnings. The only problem was that the status was "SCANNING" all the time (as I mentioned) which means that netcfg gives up after 20 seconds.
So this means we have at least 2 different problems. Can you increase netcfg's timeout? Does "iwlist scan" (as root) show anything?
I think I tried increasing the timeout (although I don't remember to which value, I'll try again). I did try iwlist wlan0 scan and it worked without problems (I didn't see my AP but that's because it doesn't broadcast essid).
Also, active scanning is disabled by default due to regulatory restrictions. If you install the crda package and set your country code in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom (then reboot or run /etc/rc.d/wireless-regdom start) you should be able to do active scans again, maybe that helps, maybe not.
OK I can try that as well and see what happens.
