when i was using the normal steps for kernel compilation i was

cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzimage /boot/gentoo-kernel
umount /boot
reboot |
now with
| Quote: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
all the above are done automatically? |
No.
Since you don't have mount boot automatically you will have to mount each time. As for the /boot/gentoo-kernel it is not correct. You will have to correct it later. Right now it is not important because the kernel didn't compile yet. After it will compile I will tell you how to correct it. |

try | Code: | | emerge -s ieee80211 |
If it is installed, | Code: | | emerge --unmerge ieee80211 |
I had this exact problem, but forgot about it. Apparently gentoo came with ieee80211 support installed as a package (or we both installed it at some point), but you need to build it into the kernel in order for the card to work properly. |

Finally done it.First step was to downgrade to my 2.6.22-r2 kernel instead of 2.6.22-r5 and use genkernel to compile my kernel.of course first i had to unemerge the ip2200,ipw2200-firmware and ieee80211.Compiled my kernel as queen proposed in her post and followed the steps and edit my /etc/conf.d/net file and reboot.For more info you can ask 
EDIT:Not easy at all to do it,so many thanks to queen for her help |

For the update, I followed your instructions on the latest kernel (just did a full update with --sync and world and compiled and booted the 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 kernel) : I now have my wifi working with ipw2200-firmware-3.0
THANKS! |

Hi,
Having just bailed on SuSE I am giving Gentoo a try. I am having an issue with an HP 2510 centrino ipw2200 network card. Followed the easy steps and I can see the card in /var/log/messages but it is not getting configured. I am not seeing the firmware messages which i ought to see. I do see the module loaded in the kernel. what gives? |

w1lld0h,
Please give us the output of the following commands (in bash) :
| Code: | lsmod | grep ipw
lspci | egrep -i 'net|wireless'
ls -l /sys/class/net/*/device{,/driver}
ls -l /lib/firmware/
