Hi, last fall I spent some of my summer earnings on a ThinkPad X41 tablet, and have been loving it ever since I installed Gentoo on it. There is one thing I have not yet been able to make work, though, and that is wifi. This is probably due to a combination of my own lack of wifi-related experience and the fact that my school (the only practical place I have to use wifi) seems to use a horrendously complicated setup >.<. I have heard that others with this laptop have managed to make wifi work. I have been trying different things on and off for a few month now, but the fact is that I have very little idea of how to configure wifi, and there seems to be little documentation that I can find which is relevant to this situation. I've decided that there's little left to do except bug all of you with my problem =(. My school has some Windows/Mac setup instructions here (scroll down a bit): http://rorschach.concordia.ca/neg/remote_access/wireless/ They mention Xsupplicant in relation to Linux, but once again I find myself way out of my depth. . . lspci lists my wifi card as: 04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) I am using the ipw2200 module, and the wifi card shows up under iwconfig as eth1. I hope you can help, and please tell me if I should post any other info, Henk Boom -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
