 |
|
Hi everybody,
first I apologize for my poor English (and terrible accent) 
second I want to said that I am a very recent user of linux so may be some of my interrogations are stupids
more seriously I have a big problem : I installed gentoo on my laptop a month ago and last week I finally decided to configure my wireless card.
I followed the instruction i found on gentoo-wiki and tried to activate my wi-fi but it seems not to be working.
I've configured my kernel as they said and emerge th iwl3945-ucode
the modules iwl3945 and mac80211 are actives
I add to the file : /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
modules_eth1=( "dhcpcd" "iwconfig" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 5 -A"
essid_eth1="any"
preup()
{
ifconfig eth1 up
}
|
I have created a symbolic link from /etc/init.d/net.lo to /etc/init.d/net.eth1 and added the startup script to the default runlevel:
but here is what iwconfig said :
| Code: | iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
|
I don't know why eth1don't appeared
And of course, the wlan0 doesn't exist in /etc/init.d/ so even I configure wlan0 i don't know how to start it.
Thanks for your answers. |

in /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rules you will probably find a rule like this:
| Code: |
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4222 (iwl3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:77:1f:c5:c2", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"
|
Here you can change the NAME for this interface. After doing "rmmod iwl3945" and "modprobe iwl3945" the new name should show up |
