Well i have been at this for days and i have posted in the forums as well but to no avail. so here goes
Im having troubles getting my USB wireless working. I have the kernel configs
right i followed the how to on gentoo wiki. I have built my driver with
ndiswrapper and installed it as well. My led light comes on to let me know
the wireless module is working. Howerver when doing a iwconfig i get
Code:
lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions
I updated my baselayout and all that as well. I had wireless working on this
laptop before with gentoo. I have recently done a fresh install. I wrote down
everything i did before to get it working but this time no luck
The USB module is WirelessLAN Prism3 IEEE802.11b WM168 USB Module
Im at a loss any ideas ?? Thanks.
also i remember last time the card would show up with the lsusb command but
now all i get is this
Code:
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
as far as i know and believe i have USB enabled yes, i could be wrong though
how did you enable yours ?
also if i run iwconfig wlan0 i get this
Code:
iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 No such device
its still not showing up
i get this in dmesg
