Or possibly you have the net.* stuff in wrong runlevels that makes them

There could also be a problem regarding netifrc's udev hotplugging, you can
disable it altogether by:
# ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules
The symlink to /dev/null in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules makes
/lib/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules
no-op. Notice this 90-network.rules is also part of net-misc/netifrc, so
don't make the mistake of

I got Espeakup to finally function, but I have a problem now with my Realtech 8188 WiFi adapter, Rev01, according to ifconfig. I know it shows up as wlp7s0 on an ifconfig, normally. But for what ever reason, it isn't showing up. I have, in my /etc/conf.d/net the line: wlp7s0=DHCP. When I run ifconfig wlp7s0 up, I get an error about how the device is not able to be found. The driver shows up as a module in the kernel. I use wpa_supplicant to manage my wireless connections. Here's what I have in my /etc/conf.d/net: # Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools modules=wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant_wlp2s0=-Dnl80211 And the output of lspci: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 137b Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at d600 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [60] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable- Count=1 Masked- Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Virtual Channel Kernel driver in use: ath5k Kernel modules: ath5k Are you setting up wireless after doing a fresh install, or did you have it working before and then it just stopped working for you? This is fresh. And genkernel doesn't show RTL8188CE in the staging drivers. It shows drivers with uffixes U and Eu, but not the CE driver. Looks like the kernel driver for your wireless NIC is RTL8192CE - /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/Kconfig:12,22 config RTL8192CE tristate Realtek RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE Wireless Network Adapter depends on PCI select RTL8192C_COMMON select RTLWIFI select RTLWIFI_PCI ---help--- This is the driver for Realtek RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE 802.11n PCIe wireless network adapters. If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called rtl8192ce - If you like to check if RTL8192CE is enabled in your kernel's .config file. If it isn't, you probably want to compile it as a module, and then add rtl8192ce to /etc/conf.d/modules as well. Oddly enough, I had a few other CONFIG modules not included, namely CONFIG_80211. But, when I activated it, my kernel got bricked, and on reboot, I got dumped in some prompt that said that the system couldn't find a root and I should press Enter to continue, Q to skip, and something else would give me a shell. I just did a genkernel --menuconfig kernel and built in the modules, the compile went smooth, and I made no other changes. But now, like I've mentioned, I've got a bricked kernel. Did your genkernel boot OK, before you enabled 'CONFIG_.*80211'? What output does the command line shown below return? grep '^CONFIG.*80211.*=[nmy]' /usr/src/linux/.config Here's what I get on my system: CONFIG_CFG80211=y CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS=y CONFIG_MAC80211=y CONFIG_MAC80211_HAS_RC=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_HT=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL=y CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y I assume you also ran 'genkernel all' after running 'genkernel --menuconfig', didn't you? What's the contents of your /etc/conf.d/modules? /etc/fstab? and what's the output of 'mount|grep ^/dev'? While I do not use genkernel myself, I thought you might want to take a look at this wiki article, http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Genkernel, as a way to retrace your steps and hopefully find what's got amiss.
[gentoo-user] emacs-24 C-mode bugs?
Have any other users been having problems with the C mode in emacs-24? I've ran into repeated problems with auto-indentation doing the wrong thing. It also failed and opens a lisp debug window when I do ESC-Q to re-flow a comment block. I uninstalled emacs-24, masked it, and installed emacs-23.

Re: [gentoo-user] udev or Gentoo issue?
I'm having a problem starting the USB network interfaces properly on
one of my systems. I brought the problem to the udev list and they're
indicating that it's a Gentoo problem:
https://www.mail-archive.com/systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org/msg18840.html
Should I file a bug?
- Grant
Like pointed out in the upstream thread, it's either wrongly built
net-misc/dhcpcd (should be with USE=udev)
and if not using dhcpcd, it might be a bug in net-misc/netifrc's
/etc/init.d/net.lo depend() { } section --
it's possible it's missing dependency that forces /etc/init.d/udev start
first, specially if OpenRC is using parallel
startup
So not really a udev bug, rather a misconfiguration in dhcpcd USE flags
OR bug in dependencies of netifrc's net.lo script
I'm starting two interfaces, one that uses dhcpcd and one that does
not. Both fail to start in the default runlevel until they are
hotplugged later. I do have dhcpcd built with USE=udev. The string
udev does not occur in /etc/init.d/net.lo so maybe that's the
problem? Please confirm that I should file a Gentoo bug for this.

That's how I have my ZFS pools set up and I'm looking to do the same when I try BTRFS. Doesn't that screw up the whole idea of checksumming etc ? Not to my mind. The bits are recorded and checksummed, that's what matters. If a bit on a platter is flipped, the decrypted bits will also change. In my understanding the FS (=btrfs or zfs) should have the direct contact to the metal (=hdd/sdd) to be fully able to detect bitrot and stuff. It is a recommended method of encryption in the BTRFS FAQ. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Does_btrfs_support_encryption.3F As btrfs does not support encryption itself, this or ecryptfs are the only options. -- Neil Bothwick ASSISTANT MANAGER: Feminine form of the word manager (q.v.). signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] How to Transplant Firmware Blobs -- was: Issue with Wireless Interface
Hi all. I found out that I was missing the firmware, not the drivers. I have the firmware on a USB stick, so is it possible to transplant it in to Gentoo?

Try adding 'after udev' to net.lo's depend() { } section and see if that
helps, if it does, file a bug
saying so.
It was more of an educated guess than 100% accurate knowledge. I can't
think of an another
way to force netifrc to behave, since it's not coded in C, and it can't
link to libudev, so...
However since you say *both*, even the one with dhcpcd fail to start,
before filing that bug,
see if disabling netifrc hotplugging works:
# ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules
And if that helps, then file a bug saying so.
One or the another, bug is propably needed in anycase.
