 |
|
I've recently had enough of a break to do some work on updating my laptop and could use a little help.
From what I've read the iwlwifi in portage doesn't work beginning with 2.6.24 seeing as it is now included with the kernel.
There is however one small issue I'm having locating this module in the kernel sources
| Code: | linux # grep -i ipw .config
# CONFIG_IPW2100 is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set
linux # |
Nothing to be found for the ipw4965 or the ipw3945 even after checking the settings recommended here http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw3945
Any Ideas?

You'll find more if you use | Code: | | grep -i iwl .config |

I had already tried that one; but thanks for the thought
| Code: | linux # grep -i iwl .config
linux # |
edit...
well, after looking at a vanilla kernel's config I renamed my .config and after a make menuconfig, the option for the driver is there. I guess there's nothing left to do except reconfigure my kernel and look at a diff between the two .configs for an undocumented setting that needs to be checked to enable the iwlwifi code.
double edit...
well if my face isn't red.
| Code: | < CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
---
> # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is not set
|
and there's my missing driver |

Well, I've gone ahead and added that setting to the wiki.
Hopefully those that need it can find it |
