 |
|
Hello everyone!
I'm having a strange issue with my Gentoo (2.6.39-r3) on my HP G62-130EV.
The wireless adapter does not get recognized because the drivers aren't available within the menuconfig thingy when I'm compiling the kernel.
I can only see the following ones:
| Code: |
< > Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 network Connection
< > Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection
< > Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlagn)
< > Intel Wireless WiFi 4695AGN (iwl4965) |
... and a few others (I tried enabling them all), but I do not see anywhere the 5000AGN which is the one that I need for mine.
(Here's the one I have: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/wireless/1000/)
Wireless works in Windows 7, and shows up in lspci correctly. No wireless adapters show up in ifconfig -a or iwconfig.
I've also tried | Code: | | emerge -av net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode |
just in case with no luck.
FYI: when I press F12 the amber light of the WiFi does become white, which signifies that the adapter is turned on.
Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!!!  |

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# lspci -v
# lspci -n
|
Also, your driver is inside this option : Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlagn) |
