I have a Macbook Pro laptop with Gentoo, with WPA working fine with
NetworkManager (Madwifi drivers).

I now do not have time to check the full configs. However I remember
that mixing wpa_supplicant configuration and NetworkManager was BAD. I
kept a very confused diary of my Macbook Gentoo install, the relevant
part is:

"ok, found problem. using the conf.d/net and wpa_supplicant.conf WITH
NetworkManager is just problems.
so I am trying to use only NetworkManager."

...and it's what I'm currently doing. I guess NetworkManager takes care
of wpa_supplicant.

Then, madwifi drivers for that card are a bit flaky, but that's another
story...

Tell me what info you need, I may try to help you.
