DHCPCD is a DHCP client program to automatically fill in network settings for interfaces connecting to a network.

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 # rc

or

root # /etc/init.d/dhcpcd start

to start dhcpcd specifically.

Wpa_supplicant will now be able to connect to a network.
