I have a Dell 600m that I have Gentoo 2.6.9-r6 running quite well on (with xorg and KDE). I'm trying to get my wireless going, but I'm running into a little trouble.

When I do:
Code:
bash-2.05b# emerge ipw2100


I get:

Code:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/ipw2100-0.56-r1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) ipw2100-0.56.tgz
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) ipw2100-fw-1.3.tgz
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) ipw2100-0.56-2.4-v9.patch.gz

!!! ERROR: net-wireless/ipw2100-0.56-r1 failed.
!!! Function kernel-mod_configoption_present, Line 90, Exitcode 1
!!! kernel has not been configured yet


Now, I'm very sure my kernel has been configured, since I'm running it and all, so what's the deal?

Thanks!

Code:
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y


thats what it is looking for in the kernel.

Check the readme file it may require you to enable crypto libraries in your kernel.

And I have all the crypto libraries installed (via the kernel menuconfig).

I had a problem getting the ipw2100 once, so i just tried a slightly older version from the portage directory and it worked fine

ipw2100-0.56-r1 looks like the oldest one in portage try out 1.0.1 see what that gives you. Also double check you're running the right kernel I sometimes foget to copy over the bzImage file and make sure that your /usr/src/linux symlink is pointing to the correct directory.

Just for kicks i deleted my /usr/src/linux symlink and got the same message. Make sure you have that.

Code:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r6/ /usr/src/linux
