| I have a emachine laptop with a broadcom bcm4306 802.11b/g wireles lan controller, what would be the right driver to use and what to do if card is not detected? I have it dual booted and when I use the windows side it gives me an ip address,192.168.1.14 and when I change back to gentoo I have to try and get the eth0 back and running. Anybody can help with this...... |

It's not really related to this thread, but... I'm not sure if there is a linux driver for your card (based on some google searching). I think your best bet to get things running would be to use ndiswrapper, which allows you to use your windows driver for the card in linux. |

You can add this to ebuild and ~amd64 keywords. Thats all |
Where does one add the symbol link?
I've tried it a few times and places, and I keep getting an emake error

You just add the symlink just as the command says above. There is a good chance that the ural drivers won't work on the latest kernels. Check a few messages back for the discussion. |
