[gentoo-user] question about wireless setting
Hello list. I have a laptop I installed 2.6.30-r8 I wish to use wireless. So. Type lspci. localhost ~ # lspci 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) And type iwconfig. localhost ~ # iwconfig lono wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. localhost ~ # I could see wireless driver when typed lspci. But, when typed iwconfig, I can’t see wlan0. So typed this emerge ipw3945 and modprobe ipw3945 but result is same. localhost ~ # iwconfig lono wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. localhost ~ # what is a problem?

Hello list. For installing vmware My kernel version is 2.6.24-gentoo-r5. But I have no source files. So I downloaded source files. But that’s version 2.6.27-gentoo-r8.
