However, running dhcpcd wlan0 when system is up works. I dont use wep
but have wireless mac filters setup on the router and I've increased
the WIRELESS_TIMEOUT in /etc/conf.d/wireless. Has anyone run into this
recently?

Thanks
I would suggest using "netcfg" (/etc/rc.d/net-profiles). I found it
much more suitable and flexible for wireless networks. It works fine
for me for long time with and without wep/wpa.

"wifi-select" package can be useful as well, it actually can use the
profiles created for "netcfg".

+1 on the netcfg recommendation. It works pretty flawlessly for me.
I don't use it daily, as I prefer a GUI solution like knetworkmanager
for desktop use, but I still use it frequently - i.e., when
knetworkmanager is broken or flakey, or if I'm working from a command
line only - and it's great.
