RE: [gentoo-user] A simple explanation on how to get wireless working on my laptop ...
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 XX # iwconfig key X # 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 Richard -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.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.

[gentoo-user] ipw in kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r9
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 ipw2100-firmware it seems to install OK, but the kernel can't seem to find the module. Thanks, Richard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ipw2100 problems - ieee80211?
You create net.eth0, or whatever, by linking /etc/init.d/net.ethX to /etc/init.d/net.lo The driver will create the actual kernel device name of eth0, ath0, or whatever, and then your link will make it work.
