Exclamation No wireless connection


For some reason i had to format my whole disk, and reinstall Gentoo, but i'm having trouble with wireless, i can only connect via Ethernet (i installed Network Manager and that's all i see, wired connections). I followed this guide.
I'm getting also a bunch of errors at boot time.
