Ok if the title isn't confusing enough.
I'm installing Gentoo from a Knoppix CD and I've got my wireless card working in Knoppix and I figure this should make it real easy to configure my kernel correctly. Here's the output of lsmod:

The network card in question is a Dell Truemobile (with Orinoco firmware), so Knoppix loaded
orinoco_cs, hermes, ds, yenta_socket, pcmcia_core
Now what settings does my kernel need to keep the card working? |

For kernel 2.4.23:
Under "Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)", it should be "Hermes chipset 802.11b support" for the card itself.
For pcmcia, it should be "General setup" -> "PCMCIA/CardBus support" -> "CardBus support".
Also, you will need to "emerge wireless-tools" and "emerge pcmcia-cs" and start "/etc/init.d/pcmciad".
That should do it.

What about this option?
--- Wireless Pcmcia cards support
< > Hermes PCMCIA card support
I'm going to make it module for now. |

| I disabled that option...the pcmcia-cs package should take care of your orinoco modules/drivers for you. You shouldn't need to have those compiling into the kernel or made as a modules. Like biggj said, you need the cardbus support enabled to make the pcmcia-cs package work. |

| Silly question, but do you emerge the wireless before you build the kernel and if so, how exactly do you do this and test it's working before proceeding? |

Hmm, a problem go figure.
I've got the kernel built and running, I've got pcmcia-cs merged. I boot and get an error that it can't find module ds
/etc/conf.d/pcmcia
| Code: |
# Put cardmgr options here
CARDMGR_OPTS="-f"
# To set the PCMCIA scheme at startup...
SCHEME="home"
# These are from the pcmcia-cs distribution, but aren't used yet
# Should be either i82365 or tcic, Depending on your pcmcia hardware.
PCIC="i82365"
#PCIC="tcic"
# Put socket driver timing parameters here
PCIC_OPTS=""
# Put pcmcia_core options here
CORE_OPTS=""

Given the previous lsmod from Knoppix what's missing?[/code] |

| are you modprobing the ds module or having it come up on boot? The pcmcia-cs package should insert the modules automatically when it starts. Did you have any errors when you emerged pcmcia-cs? Also, if you re-compiled your kernel after you emerged pcmcia-cs, you may need to emerge it again. |
