eth1: islpci_open() eth1: resetting device eth1: uploading firmware eth1: firmware uploaded done, now triggering reset . . . eth1: device soft reset timed out eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, triggering device eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response eth1: mgmt tx queue is still full <above msg a number of times> eth1: mgt_commit has failed, Restart the device eth1: mgmt tx queue is still full <above msg a number of times> eth1: prism54_set_txpower() auto power will be implemented later eth1: islpci_close() On the Gentoo forums, I've read about a "wireless hook" script that goes in /etc/conf.d/net. I tried that, too, but "wireless.sh" could not be found, so "pre-up" failed. I've changed the password to pure alpha; I've tried disabling WEP altogether. I set essid to "any" with and without "preferred_aps". I've tried setting iwconfig manually. I even re-partitioned the disk and installed Windoze 2000. The wireless works there, but that's hardly a permanent solution. In short, I'm still stuck. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
