Hi
Can somebody say me if I can install and use (and how to do that) this wireless network card (Intel wifi 5100) with that kernel sources? Is iwlwifi the correct one?
I tried to look for with google but It make me more confused; because I read about some other driver (called compat-wireless) ...
Any help? 
Thanks |

You need to have the kernel 2.6.27 and also the package iwl5000-ucode :
|
But In this way I have to change the kernel sources from tuxonice-sources to gentoo-sources right?
There is no way to do that using tuxonice-sources? |

I have no idea, I don't know if tuxonice takes the vanilla sources and add patchs.
I know that Gentoo-Souces does for sure. |

From Gentoo Linux kernel Guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml)
The tuxonice-sources (formerly suspend2-sources) are patched with both genpatches which includes the patches found in gentoo-sources, and TuxOnIce which is an improved implementation of suspend-to-disk for the Linux kernel, formerly known as suspend2.
So, If understand well tuxon ice have the same patches of gentoo-sources...
But now another question came in my mind... Gentoo-sources are suitable for suspend to ram and to hdd? |

If you want that, then you should use the tuxonice kernel for sure. |
