[gentoo-user] A simple explanation on how to get wireless working on my laptop ...
Hi - Can anyone explain to a complete idiot (me) simply how to get my internal wireless adaptor going. I know it works as I've got it running off the Livecd and XP on an unsecured network. I went through creating: # ln -s net.lo net.eth0 (Wirelesss card - reports wireless extensions not found) # ln -s net.lo net.eth1 (Seen as NIC and gets IP from DHCP server) # rc-update add net.eth0 default # rc-update add net.eth1 default Everything in /etc/conf.d/net is set for dhcpcd So far I've emerged wireless-tools and ndiswrapper but I think I'm missing something fundamental ... # iwconfig eth1 says wireless extensions not found Any help would be really appreciated.
