[SOLVED] 2.6.14.2 ipw2100 and ieee80211

[nein]

I have:
net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.3
net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.6

working with 2.6.13-gentoo-r5. I have emerged 2.6.14.2 leaving out of the kernel both ipw2100 and ieee80211 which I reemerged.
Neither of the modules complains when compiling or loading but wpa_supplicant just times out.

Any ideas about what is happening ?

2.6.14 has improved WLAN-support, most modules currently in portage has been added directly to the kernel...

Thanks for you comment.

I did not mention it, but using the ipw2100 and ieee802111 modules included in the kernel I got errors when starting wpa_supplicant (or even when loading the modules, do not remember it now). I have read that the versions included in the kernel are much older than the ones available in portage. This is the reason why I decidad to try the modules in portage as I haven been doing with 2.6.13

When you emerge modules they are not stored properly in /lib/modules as they would have been if you'd built them along with your kernel. Therefore you should probably look over your /lib/modules:

There are plenty of posts on this topic. Have you looked at this one?

Thanks for the link
I know there were several posts related to this topic but this was the problem: too much information to go through.

upgrading to net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.7 solved the problem
