Hey.
Since my first install I didn't have clear the way to load modules. I think I included the right kernel options for my machine, yet, I'm not sure of that one.
Here is the lsmod of my LiveCD.

I even created a /etc/modules.autorun.d/... with no effect on the system. I have no idea on how to proceed. Any help will be much appreciated.
If loaded on the Kernel, should the modules be compiled? I'm kind of lost here.
Thank you!!
Jose

Modules must be compiled before a load of the kernel. |

Can you please explain a bit more deeply?
Examples would be nice.
Thanks |

The fact is if you configure your own kernel then it's better to build everything into kernel, not as modules.
This site helps you to decide: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
Everything that is required to access / filesystem must be compiled in, not as modules. This includes support for your hard drive controller, support for partition table, support for your root filesystem.

I enabled all the options I think I needed within the kernel, I have set nothing to be loaded as a module, but here is where things get tricky. I don't have sound, by example, yet, I did enable the kernel opt that the http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ suggested (I think).
Is there a way to know which particular kernel opts must be enabled for each device?
Thanks in advice.

datamath,
Sound is in two parts. A kernel part, which you seem to have got right from all of the snd_* entries in your lsmod and a user space part that uses the kernel plart.
If you missed the Alsa Guide you don't have the user space part.

And about the wireless driver?
Or the card reader?
I'm sorry if this is too basic but being the first install I do it is pretty confusing  . |

I'll tell about mine. Beginning I get a kernel. Then I extract a kernel to the catalogue /usr/src/linux. Later I go to that catalogue and run:
Then I configure the kernel. In doing so I write name of modules that I want to use as external, to /etc/conf.d/modules.
After configuring I execute this for a compile:
| Code: | | make && make modules_install |
Finally I copy bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot to the /boot.
It's all.

datamath,
you can reconfigure your kernel any time. To try out different drivers you can enable them as modules in menuconfig. Then do | Code: | | make modules && make modules_install |
Now you can use modprobe to load your new modules into running kernel. No rebooot needed.

datamath,
Choose obe problem to work on. When its fixed move onto the next.
Where would like like to start?
If you work on more than one thing at a time everyone, including you will get confused.

Sure. That is done. I've reconfigured it about 10 times, all successfully, like when I installed nvidia. Plus, I installed my kernel manually, not with genkernel. I'll post my lspci. I think some devs are working now. |

Ok. It sounds good. I'll try to configure alsa now.
Meanwhile, this is my output for lspci.

Working with alsa, I tried alsaconf I got this message: "No supported pNp or PCI cards found."
Is the driver not correctly installed then? Then why does lspci -v lists it?
Thank you very much for your help guys
[Edit]
Alsacfg gives an error "could not find module snd" before loading.
I guess this is related.
How may I proceed?
[Edit 2]
The command
# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: Conexant Digital [Conexant Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Is that of help?
Thanks! |

datamath,
| Code: | | 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02) |
Broadcom wireless chips come with their own problems because Broadcom don't make it east to support their chip sets.
You need a kernel module and some user space tools. This wiki page sums this up fairly well.
Note that ndiswrapper is the last option to try.
This covers your kernel.
What happens next depands on what encryptiion you want to use over the wireless link, if any.
wireless-tools can do WEP and wide open. It also provides some debug tools that are good to have, like iwconfig.
If you want WPA or WPA2, you need wpa-supplicant too. This bit is documented in the Gentoo Handbook

Wireless is up!
I used NetworkManager instead of wpa-supplicant. I like it more.
Does it has any disadvantages? |

datamath,
NetworkManager is ok as long as it works and it doesn't work for everyone.
I'm fairly sure NetworkManager builds on wpa-supplicant. Like many Graphical tools in Linux, most use existing command line tools to do the real work and provide a pretty front end to hide that from you. When the tools exist, you may as well use them.
Like Newton said "If I have seen further than other men, its bacause I have stood on the shoulders of giants" Linux builds on existing work exactly the same way. Thats the open in Open Source.
Any more things to fix ?

I switched to wpa_supplicant! It's even easier on its cli than nework manager.
Only one question before proceeding further. How can I make it automatically load the DHCP client on connect?
Thanks! |

datamath,
I should do that anyway.
Did you make the symlink for your wireless interface in /etc/init.d ?
It should point to net.lo
With the symlink in place you can add the script to the default runlevel.
You will need a line in /etc/conf.d/net to poke wpa_supplicant but you will get dhcp for free afterward, unless you ask for another setup.
If this is a laptop and its sometimes wired and sometimes wireless, you will need to edit /etc/rc.conf
Hint: rc_depend_strict="YES" is probably not what you want.
