I've been searching around the web and on the forums but I haven't found a definitive solution to my problem.
I just purchased a Linksys WPC11 ver.4 PCMCIA card. I'm new to the Gentoo distribution but I've got a "slower" (900mhz celeron) laptop and Redhat didnt run so well. I'm trying to install Gentoo.. but I don't really want to do the stage3 install (this is where it doesnt compile or optimize everything right?). But stage1 and 2 both require a network to be available. If I boot the kernel with dopcmcia and I check iwconfig and ifconfig I do not see my wireless adaptor listed. It seems (after searching the internet, mailing lists and forums) as though the WPC11 works with gentoo.. but requires getting pcmcia-cs with emerge. Doesnt emerge use the network? I cant very well run emerge for getting my networking modules/drivers. Anyone have any ideas, pointers.. or know of somewhere I could look for help with this?
