Hi all, I am trying to get my wireless adapter (Intel 3945ABG) running. following the instructions on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi I compiled the kernel accordingly. Now the howto states:
For kernel 2.6.27 and later, use the second slot(version 228.57.2.21) which needs to be unmasked in package.keywords. Since I am rather new to gentoo, I am not really sure what to do. I added =net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-228.57.2.21 ~amd64 to /etc/portage/package.keywords to use the version mentioned. Testing what would be installed: emerge net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode --pretend --verbose These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-15.28.1.6 66 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 66 kB So version 15.28.1.6 would be used... What am I missing? Thanks for your help! -- Best regards, Marco
