 |

Hello forum,
I start by saying that I have never had these many issues installing Gentoo on a PC or laptop. Xorg is not working and there is no wireless card detected...but let's start with one issue at a time.
When I boot into my new install and run
I get enp0s31f6, which is my wired card, and lo:. No wireless card...
If I run
1: lo
2: enp0s31f6
3. sit0@none
I added the firmware for the wifi by going into CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, after running | Code: | | dmesg | grep firmware |
with the Gentoo LiveCD. I therefore added
| Quote: | | iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-89.ucode |
in the kernel. but, when running | Code: | | dmesg | grep firmware |
in the new booted system, all I see is the 1915 firmware, and there is no mention of the iwlwifi which I expected to see. I also added the firmware for bluetooth support, and for sound, and I do not see either.
I have installed iwd following the iwd Gentoo wiki, but it cannot function with no firmware.
So, like I said, let's start with one issue at a time. I am putting a lot of effort and hours into this, but I am not going anywhere...next will be Xorg (I cannot startx), and sound...
Let's see if a patient helping hand is able to get me out of this mess...like I said, one step at a time, until I can finally have a working Gentoo... |

Please paste the output of that command.
Also output of lspci -k could help, and zfgrep IWL /proc/config.gz too.
... finally lsmod could show us if the module for your network device is loaded.
