 |
|
after having a hell of a time just getting the freaking driver for my terrible centrino card to compile, i still can't get it to work.
i emerged the ipw2100 drivers, my wireless card turns up in lspci, and after modprobing the ipw2100 module dmesg correctly shows | Code: | ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.46_3
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
|
but iwconfig still shows no interface with wireless extensions. are there any special steps i have to take to manually create an interface for my wlan card or am i missing something else entirely?
at this point, any help appreciated.

wireless extensions ARE enabled.
my "make menuconfig" clearly states | Code: | | [*] Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions |
are there any other options in this submenu i have to enable?

hah, it worked with ndiswrapper. i now have a wlan0 adapter.
i emerged your wireless config thing, uberlord, but i am unsure as to what is next. should i just do | Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpd wlan0 |
or what? do i have to bring the eth0 link down first or do the two connections coexist?

1. Edit /etc/conf.d/wireless to match your wireless network
2. | Code: | ln -sf /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
Both connections can be active at the same time
