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
Code:
ip link

I get enp0s31f6, which is my wired card, and lo:. No wireless card...

If I run
Code:
ip link


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.

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...

Code:
dmesg | grep firmware

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’).
