DHCPCD is a DHCP client program to automatically fill in network settings for interfaces connecting to a network.
Installation
root # emerge net-misc/dhcpcd
When using wpa_supplicant, add dhcpcd to the default runlevel
root # rc-update add dhcpcd default
and then start dhcpcd by updating the runlevels and launching anything not already started with
root # rcor
root # /etc/init.d/dhcpcd start
to start dhcpcd specifically.
Wpa_supplicant will now be able to connect to a network.
