wlan0 not starting on Gentoo

[Brent Vukmer]

Hi, I'm running HostAP Gentoo 2.6.11-r9 using baselayout 1.11.11-r4,
hostap-driver 0.4.1 and hostap-utils 0.4.0.  This was working fine
until yesterday when I decided to update the kernel to r10. This
didn't work so well, so I redeployed the r9 kernel. (Just to be on the
safe side, I then re-emerged hostap-driver, hostap-utils and
wireless-tools.)

However, now I can't start the wlan0 device.  

vux vukmerb # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start

 * Starting wlan0

 *     no access points found

 *   Failed to configure wireless for wlan0
