[...] You can try Wicd which is a great network manager, until you are more familiar with gentoo/wifi configuration. I have the same chip, with wpa2, wicd handless this without problems. This is cool! For the moment this is perfectly ok for me! Thanks for the tips!
[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.27 and iwl3945-ucode
Hi all, I am trying to get my wireless adapter (Intel 3945ABG) running. following the instructions on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi I compiled the kernel accordingly. Now the howto states: For kernel 2.6.27 and later, use the second slot(version 228.57.2.21) which needs to be unmasked in package.keywords. Since I am rather new to gentoo, I am not really sure what to do. I added =net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-228.57.2.21 ~amd64 to /etc/portage/package.keywords to use the version mentioned. Testing what would be installed: emerge net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode --pretend --verbose These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N] net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-15.28.1.6 66 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 66 kB So version 15.28.1.6 would be used... What am I missing? Thanks for your help! -- Best regards, Marco

Version 228.57.2.21 belongs to iwl4965. If you really want iwl3945, you don't need to unmask/keyword anything. I'm on 2.6.28 with version 15.28.1.6. For iwl4965, I don't see any versions which are not marked stable (I'm on AMD64). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It was not really clear to me if it is only related to 4965 or if it also is true for the 3945. Thanks for pointing out! One more question: I followed the howto for Intel 3945 and also the handbook ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4chap=4 ). I am using wpa_supplicant. But I think I am missing now a configuration for /etc/init.d/net. What information do I have to provide there?
