I have a new sony lappy with a ipw2200 chipset mini wireless card. Should I be using the in kernel (2.6.16-r3) drivers or the builds in portage? Is the a configuration guide for this setup on gentoo?
You want the portage builds. I'm going by memory (laptop is at home, I'm at work) but there are three things to emerge: ieee80211, ipw2200 and ipw2200-firmware. (The names might be a little off...) In any case, the 802.11 ebuild will check your kernel config & tell you if there is a problem with your config, and how to deal with it by running a (provided) script. Nice & easy!
Sorry my note isn't crisp on details, but I'm sure others will correct my fuzzy memory if I've left out anything. Good luck,
