It's a good distro ! My problem : Recently, I decided to install Gentoo on an old acer laptop. And as everydays, when I try to install my wifi device on a Gnu/linux distro, I have a problem. The wireless card is Intel Pro 2200BG. I tried to follow the simple wiki page : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi It appears easy because my card is in the list. I config my kernel as indicated. I tried too to active the support of all proposed wifi device. I rebooted on the new compiled kernel. I emerge sys-firmware/iwl2000-ucode without problem. After a reboot, I tried to use ifconfig -a but I only see my lo, enp6s8 (ethernet), and sit0 (ipv6 I think). I tried to unmerge sys-firmware/iwl2000-ucode and emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware but nothing more. Anybody has an idea ? Thank you ! Hi, did you try: # rfkill list ? === no ² for exemple: rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no MFG

Please note I'm not discussing any technical ability you may or may not have with bash, ebuilds or upstream sources. Just your ability to find out the basics, which is much less difficult than installing Gentoo in the first place. If you want/ed to be a developer, my advice would always be: show you're useful, not that you need hand-holding and ego-stroking from the get-go. I've been an occasionnal contributor to Git, the active maintainer of OfflineIMAP for more than a year and I'm maintainer and developer at $DAY_JOB since years. I turned the OfflineIMAP worflow from one maintainer into a team of official maintainers. This is merely one example of my contributions to the open source world and when it comes to recruitement, workflow and decision processes I think I know what I'm talking about. We mainly care about gentoo contributions when it comes to gentoo recruitment and do not let people in, just because they are developers. That is not even a requirement. So we are pretty open to new contributors.
