Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo 1.4 on a WiFi laptop

[Norbert Kamenicky]

1. Run lsmod on Knoppix to find out which modules
   are needed for wifi card
2. Load these modules by hand using modprobe,
   if you receive "Can't locate ..." error, then
   reconfigure, build and boot new kernel with
    missing modules, goto 2.
3. If the card is now available, modify your
   /etc/modules.d/modules.conf
    or
   /etc/modules.autoload
   let's  modules are loded automatically next time
Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I have a laptop with a lucent technology orinoco wifi pcmcia ethernet adapter. 
This adapter works wery well with the Knoppix live CD.

I boot the Gentoo 1.4 install CD with : gentoo dokeymap dopcmcia
Then : modprobe orinico_cs
The modules are loaded : checked with lsmod.
The net-setup eth0 fails because I have no eth0 device !
Any hint out there ?

Thanks

Martin
