wireless card not detected

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

Hello Zucca:

Here is the info you requested. As I do not have video capability, I could not copy/paste and I had to type all the below, as my Gentoo installation has only a console with a prompt; hopefully I did not make any mistakes...

Hello Enrico,

because I'm an old man and sometimes get things mixed up I don't know if I've given you the following links before. If not, please read everything in this order - you definitely need wgetpaste:

* https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Overview_of_System_Information

...and DO number 2 of this chapter:

* https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Tutorials/Manual_kernel_configuration#Before_you_start ->

Yes, it MUST be the LIVE-CD (and not the minimal-CD)

... and later read it completely:

* https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Tutorials/Manual_kernel_configuration

... including all links ... ;-)

Check if you have a typo somewhere ... and ... if you need more help, please provide us your kernel .config and all 3 files mentionend in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Overview_of_System_Information

Perhaps it would make more sense if we took care of your xorg problem first, so that you have a graphical interface. Which WM or DE do you want to use?

We can see many other answers to questions - such as whether you are using systemd or OpenRC - from the data you send us via wgetpaste (e.g. in ‘emerge --info’).

Hi pietinger,

here are the links to the three files you requested, and to the kernel .config file

emerge --info: http://dpaste.com/4QVZ4SCZ8

dmesg http://dpaste.com/2RYMQ8BY3

lspci -nn http://dpaste.com/6EDMY33HW Wgetpaste would not recognize the command with the "k": i.e. -nnk

Kernel config. file http://dpaste.com/AD4YF8J7C

These are all logs from the chroot environment using the 6.6.62 kernel, and not the new kernel 6.12.5. I can boot into the new Gentoo, but I have no wireless connection, and I believe wgetpaste needs an internet connection to work...this is as far as I could go...

I am also adding the EXTRA_FIRMWARE content, so you can see what I added: http://dpaste.com/DPMBDBQAS...somehow it fetches the relevant info when I issue the command

Wgetpaste:
You can send the output from a command to a file and then after booting to get internet access wgetpaste the file.

Kernel config:

Hi pietinger,

I have an internet connection when booting from the minimal Gentoo CD e the Gentoo LiveCD. I will follow your instructions and report back when I am done...
