Hi all, after some updating (emerge --sync and emerge --update --deep world, etc.) my wirelss card does not work anymore.
In the boot messagesI have: [...] * Starting wlan0 SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory * Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP [ ok ] * Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ] * Backgrounding ... [...] And dmesg shows: [...] iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x100102, writing 0x100106) firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x100102, writing 0x100106) firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x100102, writing 0x100106) firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x100102, writing 0x100106) firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled [...] Some research on 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory' showed that this is often caused by missing firmware for the wireless card. But net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode is installed on my system. Any hints on how to fix? Thanks! -- Regards, Marco
