I have a Portatil HP pavilion zt3113 Centrino 1.4, and a time a go I decided to install gentoo 1.4, I need wireless a lot, I tried to configure but I didn't make it, after many lost hours, brain smoke etc, I had to give it up. I decided to come back again, and I started myself with the same problem... I installed gentoo 2006,0 of the minimal compact disc in Stage 3 with kernel 2.6.15.gentoo.r1, or either, gentoo-sources. Now I need your help, the rest is done, but Hi need wireless... I have router/wireless with WEP(for while). I am newbie, sorry for that. 
I tried to follow the handbook, but I couldn't make it.
Still no wireless...  |

hi,
need a bit more info here - what kind of card, what have you tried, etc...I'd be happy to help, but I'm not sure where to start since that info is not present.
Cheers,
Wah

Thanks. I've never done wpa_supplicant, so I'm not sure I can help there. However, you'll need the driver for your card
| Code: |
02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)
|
which is in portage as net-wireless/ipw2100.
Once you emerge it, you'll want to do a modprobe -l and look to make sure the module was created. If it was, modprobe <module_name> and it will create the interface (which will vary...do an iwconfig afterwards to see what its called).
For example - on my Atheros based card, I do the following:
emerge wireless-tools (base wireless package)
emerge madwifi-ng madwifi-ng-tools (atheros driver package)
modprobe ath_pci (which creates the interface ath0)
iwconfig (verifys that ath0 does in fact exist)
then, take a look at the /etc/conf.d/wireless.example and create a file /etc/conf.d/wireless with all your parameters in it.
to start it on boot, create a softlink in /etc/init.d/ as such:
ln -s /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.<interface name>
Hope that helps some.
Cheers,
Wah

Hi, he detects the driver, but I can't bring them up. |
so, when you do an iwconfig, you don't get any interfaces with wireless extensions?
How are you trying to "bring it up"?
