|
|
Hey guys,
Decided today to install Gentoo, but I have already run into a bit of trouble. It is my understanding that you need an active Internet connection to install Gentoo, the problem is I don't know how to connect to our wireless network. I ran ifconfig and some really weird stuff came up, instead of the usual eth0, wlan0 it comes up with the somewhat random enp2s0 and wlp0s18f2u6.
I assume that wlp0s18f2u6 is my USB wireless adapter (D-Link DWA-125). The wireless network uses WEP 128bit encryption.
Can any of you guys tell me how to get connected?
Note: Using a minimal installation cd.
Thank you for your time _________________ Windows is great - I used it to download Linux

up to first 2 lines of step 3.....

I'm going to eventually make something more Gentoo specific using sysrescuecd instead of ubuntu/debian variants. i also have worked through this with adjustments for btrfs on a test virtual machine. id really like to get more flavors to gentoo going also, but have many projects running at once. |

Solved the problem, rebooted and the adapter was recognised as wlan0 and I was able to connect.
Thanks anyway. _________________ Windows is great - I used it to download Linux |
