I learned sooooo much from my first install of Gentoo, it is the best learning tool ever!

Hmmm.... we've got something, but firefox still won't load anything.
I have a specific SSID "host" and a specific key for WEP and it seems not to be noticed here. I've even got it set in /etc/conf.d/net
Still nothing though.
From within Gentoo:

You need to hit the on/off button for your laptops wifi card. It looks as if it is off.

Are you sure? Because sometimes it looks like it is but it really isn't. If it is, then you should try doing the setup of the wifi manually so we can rule out any of the config files messing up.

I checked again and it was on. I did "/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start" and it said that it was already started...
Something I noticed on bootup:
| Code: |
ERROR: Cannot run ipw3945d until sysinit completes
ipw3945d will be started in the boot runlevel
FATAL: Error running install command for ipw3945
|
edit:
when i run ifplugd, it says that "an instance of ifplugd for eth0 running"
Also, I deleted net.eth0, is there a way to get it back? Does someone have the file they could paste here for me? |

If you didn't create the net.eth0 than it was just a link to net.lo .
Can you run the ipw3945d after the system is booted up? Or is it already running once the boot up is complete?

I'm lost as to why it's not letting my wireless connection show up. Am I looking in the wrong place?
EDIT:
I was just checking my router settings and it had this:
WAN is connected
100Mbps FULL Duplex |

Did you specify a WEP key and an access point to connect to in the iwconfig command?

Well because if you look at your iwconfig output you can see that you are not associated with any accesspoints. So that is why you are not getting dhcp responses and hence no ip addresses. Did you start the net.eth0 script?

GivePeaceAChance,
Please post your /etc/conf.d/net file and your output from | Code: | | rc-update -s --verbose |
Other than lo, nothing network related should be in the boot runlevel

That's the file I deleted, since my wireless is eth1. Can you tell me how I could get the conf.d/net.eth0 file back? |

GivePeaceAChance,
All your nextwork devices are symbolic links to net.lo.

GivePeaceAChance,
What about your /etc/conf.d/net file ?
The script net.lo is the only 'real' network script. It behaves as whatever network interface its invoked as so calling net.lo as net.eth0 makes it set up eth0 .. and so on. You make new names for net.lo by creating symbolic links to it. So, | Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0 |
makes a symbolic link with the name net.eth0 pointed to net.lo
ls -l will show it

Hawt damn!!!! 
I want to appologize for my noobishness. I noticed today that no-one had replied, so I went ahead and copied down all the commands in this thread and booted to gentoo to get the output of each one. Then I tried man iwconfig, and read through it, and realized that I needed to set the stuff, like sonic said.... duhhhh.... man, I'm a noob. so I did that, and lo and behold, this post is from within gentoo. So basically, I've got internet, and all I had to do was actually configure it.  I wasn't configuring it and that's why it wasn't working. But now I'm absolutely elated! Thanks sonic and everyone else who helped me out. DAAAAAAYMMMMMM |

Glad you figured it out man! The man pages are seriously your best friend.

GivePeaceAChance,
Now you are not so noobish as your were before you fixed you network.
The problem solution method you learned will help you solve other problems too.
Well done
