OK ... You're a genius thanks ...!!! The following worked ... # emerge -s 2100 returned net-wireless/ipw2100 and net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware # emerge -av ipw2100 ipw2100-firmware
I rebooted .. then after turning encryption back on and then: # iwconfig returned new interface eth2 # iwconfig essid XXXXXX # iwconfig key XXXXX # dhcpcd eth2 Everything works ...!!!! So ... how do I enter this into /etc/conf.d/net so it happens automatically at boot. Richard -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
