Just let net.wlan0 bring the interface up and configure the IP for you.

[gentoo-user] USE-flags and CFLAGS of stage3?
Does anyone know what are the USE-flags and CFLAGS used for the current stage3?
The reason I'm asking is that I keep finding myself having to upgrade
glibc and gcc when I install a new Gentoo system, so I want to save
some time by doing a 'pre-upgrade' of glibc, gcc, and libtool. Then
I'm going to tarball the result in a custom stage3 ('stage3.1', if you
wish), and use this as the starting point for future Gentoo boxen.
Rgds,

They were supposed to be the ones that came with the instructions for moving to gnome 3. But I didn't realize that eix-update doesn't update layman and I need layman -S.

[gentoo-user] texlive-2011 upgrade headsup
Hi list, Just a minor glitch I ran into in upgrading texlive-2010 to texlive-2011, I am not sure how reproducible this is, so I am posting it here instead of filing a bug, just in case someone else runs into the same problem. It is likely that this problem won't occur at all for those not using the cjk option. Problem: When issuing 'emerge --update texlive', the emerge chokes on the package 'dev-texlive/texlive-latex'. Checking the logs reveal that during compile it tries to load 'loadhyphen-zh-latn.tex' which does not exist on the system. Solution: 'emerge --oneshot texlive-langcjk' first. One of the config file updates with the 2011 version of that package changes the filename to load to 'loadhypher-zh-latn-pinyin.tex', which does exist on the system. Cheers, W -- Willie W.

It's installing Gnome 3 stuff.
Is that what you want?
Look at your unmasking rules.
