Hello. I seem to be unable to bring my up my Wireless adapter (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG) online. Here's the output I receive from `/etc/init.d/net.wlp6s4 -v restart`:
| Code: | gentoopl ~ # /etc/init.d/net.wlp6s4 -v restart

Here's some `dmesg` output about a "regulatory database":
| Code: | [ 2.914797] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database
[ 2.919160] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7'

[ 2.923629] cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db
|
Later on in `dmesg`, showing ipw2200 detecting the hardware:
| Code: | [ 11.510233] lib80211: common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers
[ 11.510235] lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'

|
The wireless interface shows up in `ifconfig` as `wlp6s4`. Of special note to me is `start-stop-daemon: fopen `/run/wpa_supplicant-wlp6s4.pid': No such file or directory`, but I don't understand this fully.
Any help greatly appreciated, and have a Happy 2020.

can you post your /etc/conf.d/net file? i wonder if it's missing some wifi bits, eg
| Code: | modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
|
cheers

Are you really sure you want nl80211? | Code: | CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE:
The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
built for such purposes.
Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
users should better be implemented with debugfs.
Say N.
Symbol: NL80211_TESTMODE [=n]
Type : bool
Prompt: nl80211 testmode command
Location:
-> Networking support (NET [=y])
-> Wireless (WIRELESS [=y])
-> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API (CFG80211 [=y])
Defined at net/wireless/Kconfig:39
Depends on: NET [=y] && WIRELESS [=y] && CFG80211 [=y] |
Compare with https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel_Corporation_PRO/Wireless_3945ABG
If you cannot find firmware loaded or loaded firmware in your dmesg output you should double check to have the firmware built as a module.
What is the output of your modinfo <your module>? |

Sorry, took a second to get back to this.

| Code: | config_enp6s8="dhcp"
config_wlp6s4="dhcp" |
However, I have a tuxbook that works without the line
| Code: | | modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant" |
| Quote: | | cannot find firmware loaded or loaded firmware in your dmesg output |
I can't find either in dmesg output.
Here's the output of `modinfo ipw2200`: https://bpaste.net/BXYQ
Thanks for the help so far.
