With that you will update your box and I'm sure that you will have a kernel 2.6.27 somewhere.

After that you need to post that :
Code: Select all
# cd /usr/src
# ls -la
With the content of that, I will give you the instruction to update your kernel the Gentoo way

i did all that and still have 2.6.26 and no 2.6.27. i don't know if it matters but i didn't use a genkernel on my original install

rerunning everything i noticed that the
emerge -auDNv world didn't complete and gave me the following

Code: Select all

Total: 327 packages (54 upgrades, 1 downgrade, 19 new, 2 in new slots, 251 reinstalls, 2 uninstalls), Size of downloads: 167,500 kB 
Conflict: 3 blocks 

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled 
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: 

www-client/mozilla-firefox:0 

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.19', 'merge') pulled in by 
    =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* required by ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/epiphany-2.22.3', 'merge') 
    =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* required by ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.19.1-r2', 'merge') 
    =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* required by ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/totem-2.22.2-r1', 'merge') 
    (and 2 more) 

  ('installed', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.5', 'nomerge') pulled in by 
    www-client/mozilla-firefox required by world 


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to 
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also 
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are 
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the 
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be 
installed simultaneously. 

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page 
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Ok, first it's VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia", you really need the "" actually.

Also, you should remove the ipw4965 use flag and I'm sure that you don't use the desktop profile too, so maybe you should try the 2008.0/desktop profile instead.

i gave up on the "emerge world" command because i kept running into packages that wouldn't compile and i got frustraited and just gave up.

Alternatively i installed gentoo over my ubuntu install on my desktop and that wireless works with my same network and a same wpa_supplicant files. So i think the problem on my laptop might be driver related.
