the two main problem that i have : is the wireless : ipw3945 and the sound i have been searching on the gentoo wiki and on forums but i really can t make them work 
for the ipw3945 I followed the instructions of the gentoo wiki : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw3945 and the driver seems to be loaded but when i do an iwconfig :
| Code: |
iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
|
and the same probleme for the sound : the driver seems to be loaded but i have no sound in KDE etc ...
here is my lsmod :
| Code: |
lsmod
Module Size Used by
pcmcia 33300 0
pcmcia_core 36372 1 pcmcia
snd_seq 51120 0

and other questions that i was wondering was about the cpu configuration and CFLAGS, CHOST : i don t know if i used the good one for my laptop :
| Code: |
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 1995.987
cache size : 4096 KB
|
and here is the make.conf
| Code: |
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
|
if someone could help me a bit it wouuld be great
thanks in advance

I can not comment on wireless, but talking about audio: have you unmuted your audio with alsamixer? A good method for testing your audio is: | Code: | | cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp |
This should generate static sound. |

you may need the "arts" use flag for sound in kde apps.
add USE="arts" to make.conf, and then do "emerge --newuse world" |

Your system looks very similar to my XPS. But my cpu is prescott. Yours should be nocona.
For the ipw3945, did you run /etc/init.d/ipw3945d?
One thing I do not see in your modules is "firmware_class". Did you emerge ipw3945-ucode? |

Thanks a lot for you answers
for the sound i will try to recompile with the use flags
and for wireless ipw3945 i did not emerge ipw3945-ucode, it seems to work now, i have just a little probleme with /etc/init.d/ipw3945d
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/ipw3945d
bash: /etc/init.d/ipw3945d: No such file or directory
|
thanks again  |

That's odd, because | Code: | | qfile /etc/init.d/ipw3945d |
tells me it's owned by net-wireless/ipw3945d. Give it another whirl and see if shows a usable interface.
For sound, my /etc/conf.d/alsasound is pretty much the default. All options are set to yes. You might try this, though:
| Code: | cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
# OSS/Free portion
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `modules-update' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.13 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
|
Make sure you run alsaconf as root. |

MgC-fish, you're probably using ipw3945d-1.7.18, which doesn't have the init script. You'll need to emerge the masked version (1.7.22-r4) to get the init script. As root, run:
| Code: | echo "net-wireless/ipw3945d ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge ipw3945d |
Once it's done, run etc-update and use the updated file. You should now have a working /etc/init.d/ipw3945d script |
