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
shouldn't install either of net-wireless/ieee80211 or net-wireless/ipw2100.
You still need to have net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware emerged though. I
believe these are the kernel options you need (it works for me):
$ zgrep IPW2100\\\|IEEE80211 /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_IEEE80211=m
Hi - Can anyone give me pointers on how to get ipw2100-firmware working
with kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r9? It works fine with
kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 where it's compiled in the kernel
but the same set-up fails in kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r9. When
I run emerge

the dmesg just say me that he can't load the firmware.
Sounds like you need to emerge sys-firmware/ipw2100-firmware.

As of kernel 2.6.17 ipw2100 has been included in the kernel. Hence
you shouldn't install either of net-wireless/ieee80211 or
net-wireless/ipw2100. You still need to have
net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware emerged though. I believe these are the
kernel options you need (it works for me
, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
This is the device you need to get working, make sure /usr/src/linux
points to your current kernel version and try this:
# emerge -av ipw2100 ipw2100-firmware
If that goes well, then do this:
# modprobe ipw2100
has been included in the kernel. Hence
you shouldn't install either of net-wireless/ieee80211 or
net-wireless/ipw2100. You still need to have
net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware emerged though. I believe these are the
kernel options you need (it works for me):
$ zgrep IPW2100\\\|IEEE80211 /proc

complained-about files
by hand. The most recent error messages looked like this
The 2.6.14 kernel includes the ipw2100 ipw2200 drivers, so you do not
need to merge the external drivers or ieee80211, just the firmware.
However, I think the in-kernel version is lagging slightly
to make
KSRC=/usr/src/linux KSRC_OUTPUT=/usr/src/linux all.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this
status message.
Are any versions of the Gentoo packages iee80211, ipw2100 and
ipw2100-firmware
expected to work
