 Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2018 4:39 pm Post subject: Wireless Card not showing up after installation |
 |
|
| First time poster here, and I just finished my installation of gentoo. During the installation, the liveCD "just worked" and I had no trouble connecting to the internet (using net-setup). When compiling the kernel I used genkernels, but now I'm booting up without the liveCD, ifconfig -a does not show my wireless card (wlp2s0). However, when I run lspci -k, it shows my wireless card using the iwlwifi driver. My Ethernet controller is working fine as far as I can tell, but I'm installing on a laptop, so wireless is a must. Thanks in advance for any help! |

Welcome to gentoo forum!
You can post output of lspci -k, .config of your kernel and dmesg (for long output use a pastebin service)?

ofrank,
Your wifi needs firmware.
| dmesg: | [ 9.190440] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode failed with error -2
[ 9.190443] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: no suitable firmware found! |
Its provided in the linux-firmware package.
While we are there.
| dmesg: | [ 93.064014] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for intel/ibt-hw-37.7.10-fw-1.80.1.2d.d.bseq failed with error -2
[ 93.064016] Bluetooth: hci0 failed to open Intel firmware file: intel/ibt-hw-37.7.10-fw-1.80.1.2d.d.bseq(-2) |
Its in the linux-firmware package too.

Firmware seems not correct configured in kernel or you not downloaded sys-kernel/linux-firmware package
| Code: | [ 9.190440] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode failed with error -2
[ 9.190443] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: no suitable firmware found! |

fedeliallalinea,
iwlwifi is a module, the firmware load attempt happens after root is mounted.

You right, I have not made this reasoning.
