Hi lads,
im sorry to bring this up again but i think i am in the same situation as still0water was.
Im installing gentoo from scratch, not using genkernel. I followed all the steps above, but starting udevd didn't help. Do i have to write any rule for udev in order to have the iwl3945 firmware loaded when i try to bring wlan0 up?

mods,
You shouldn't need to create any rule.
What error message/symptoms do you have?

Hi mamac, thanks for the answer.
The steps i go through are:
1. modprobe iwl3945
2. udevd --daemon
3. ifconfig wlan0 up
The error mess is the usual:
| Code: | # ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory |
maybe udev is not looking in /lib/firmware? I guess ill have to look at the source to know... |
