I have now (finally) successfully compiled the latest kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 kernel. Once I enabled the 'Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)' option in Networking --> Wireless, the Realtek RTL8187 USB support option appears in Device Drivers --> Network Device Support --> Wireless LAN section under wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11). With this RTL8187 driver compiled into the kernel, I get some success. Running the command 'dmesg | grep rtl8187' after reboot returns the message usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187 There is, however, no /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 on my system, so I'm not quite there yet. There is a net.eth0 (wired network), and a net.lo What do I need to do to get net.wlan0 active? Thanks Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
