Hi - Can anyone explain to a complete idiot (me) simply how to get my
internal wireless adaptor going. I know it works as I've got it running off
the Livecd and XP on an unsecured network. I went through creating:
# ln -s net.lo net.eth0 (Wirelesss card - reports wireless extensions not
found)
#
Richard Watson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) scribbled:
# iwconfig eth1 says wireless extensions not found
what is the output of
# lspci
you may need to
# emerge sys-apps/pciutils
to get lspci.

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

Everything works ... So ... how do I enter this into /etc/conf.d/net so
it happens automatically at boot.
My net only contains :
iface_eth0=dhcp
The real config is in /etc/conf.d/wireless
you should have a wireless.example file there to help you out.
