Im not sure where to go from here the kernel isnt even seeing my wifi card and I know ive got the right options enabled. The only error in dmesg is
Code:
PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@90000000 for 0000:01:00.0


This is on a x86 install of a hp dv5t. Not sure what other info to provide being as the system doesnt seem to see it at all unless the dmesg error is it. Oh yeah also the kernel is 2.6.25-gentoo-r7. The card does work in windows so im pretty sure that its not the card.

Any help appreciated, im not worrying about getting it to work at the moment just seen.

I'm pretty sure it does, you just don't. Start by pasting lspci output.

And no, that error is not the wireless card. That's your GPU.

So now the question is what is your kernel config? Also can you post lspci -n please, so that we can get a vendor id and model id for the card.

Not really. 2.6.25 does not and will not work with the 5100.

I'm pretty sure a 2.6.26 kernel won't work. You could try the latest 2.6.27-rc, or just clone from git and pull iwlwifi.
