Hi,

I am a Noob and want to install Gentoo on my Notebook. My Problem is, when I want to configure my wlan RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g for Internetconnection, he says: phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware.

The right kernel is loaded.

So how can I get the firmware and what I have to do with it!?

assuming you are booting gentoo installed on the hard drive
Code:
mkdir /etc/portage
echo "net-wireless/rt61-firmware-1.2 ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge rt61-firmware


If you are booting a livecd that will not connect, three choices:
connect by cable until gentoo is installed and the wireless works
use any livecd of appropriate bitness that does connect until gentoo is installed and working with the network configured
sneakernet
