This is a completely different issue. This means that you don't have the correct firmware installed for this kernel version. We do support several versions back from the latest, but we can't support older firmwares forever, so if you're using a recent kernel you must upgrade the firmwares too. Let me know which device you have, so I can tell you which firmware you need to use. But as a general rule, if you clone the linux-firmware repository[1] and install all the iwlwifi*.ucode files in /lib/firmware (or wherever gentoo looks for the firmware in your filesystem), you will surely get the latest version of the firmware that works with your kernel.
