I do have the Logitech unifying driver in there too. I tried messing around with my "bios" (I have UEFI) because there is some xHCI mode setting. I'm probably going to remove that driver but include xHCI. I'm still trying different configurations in relation to USB. I even updated my UEFI.

I have the intel iommu compiled in, but I don't have that in the grub config. Will that be parsed in an EFI environment? (I only ask because Gentoo's EFI instructions when not using stub are garbage)

I know this is kind of an old topic, but I have the same motherboard, but just figured I'd say you're not the only one with this problem.

I posted about it here. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7413214.html

I am having issues with USB3 enabled in kernel. It compiles fine, but I cannot use a mouse/keyboard (both Logitech on a unifying receiver) with it enabled. Currently on 3.10.7-gentoo-r1. I thought it was an evdev issue or keyboard/mouse driver issue, that doesn't appear to be the case. Am I maybe ...

For anyone else with the same driver, you can apply the patch in comment #27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1157880.

I just updated my kernel, and in attempting to rebuild the wl module for my wireless card (broadcom 43b1), I am getting these errors. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix?

Okay I re-ran the command and it is just sitting at the next line. I presume it is waiting for it to close, but since this is just the command line utility, it doesn't have anything I can close...

I should also mention, that I added it to startup. So that could have something to do with that?

correct. Either stop it, or nuke it from startup and reboot, then let us have a gander at the command line output

if it associates/authenticates successfully, the problem is further down the line ...

just to check the obvious

if you cat /proc/net/wireless , is eth1 correct? (I've only seen that with ipw2200)

assuming it is, try running this on the command-line as root, and post the results:


wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf


Thanks for asking, but ...

I have been searching, and haven't succeeded yet. Tried some things from a few different threads on here to no avail.

I can get the card to scan, but I can't get wpa_supplicant to connect. It appears that it may be a dhcp issue, because in dmesg I get:

gehzumteufel,

Everything looks ok. Boot normally but press e when you get to the grub menu. Use grubs editor to change
kernel /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 to
kernel (hd0,2)/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage leave the rest of the kernel line unchanged.

The attempts to boot ...

What command did you use to copy the kernel to /boot? Did you run make install? Did you use cp? What file did you copy?
If you can't answer the above, boot the live-cd, mount the partitions and post the output of ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot here. It would also be helpful to see the output of ls -l /mnt ...

i just followed the tutorial except i did genkernel --menuconfig all. no other variations.
