I'm not really much of a forum reader..too lazy I guess. > # iwconfig eth1 essid Speeder key 'key_here' > # ifconfig eth1 up > # dhcpcd eth1 Two options that may help. In /etc/conf.d/net, try: modules_eth1=( "ifconfig" "iwconfig" "dhcpcd" ) # also try "iwconfig" "ifconfig" "dhcpcd" If the above doesn't help, try: modules_force_eth1=( "ifconfig" "iwconfig" "dhcpcd" ) # and the alternative order above You'll get some dire warnings about forcing modules, but it Works For Me (TM). Let me know what happens... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
