Boot with gentoo dopcmcia form a 1.4 Live CD cd /etc/conf.d nano -w net
Now replace every instance of eth0 with wlan0. Make sure you change and uncomment your gateway line if you need it and setup your IP address or DHCP. (I'm using DHCP) Now save (CTRL-O).
cd /etc/init.d cp net.eth0 net.wlan0
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
This works for me every time.
(BTW, if you are using GLIS, then start with step 2 since you already have the network started.

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?
Thanks so much,
