I compiled iwlwifi as a mdoule and the interface wlp5s0 appeared. however: iwconfig says there are no wireless extensions.
anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

I had the same issue. If I remember correctly enabling kernel option CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT solved the issue.

Best Regards,
Holger

yeah, wext is disabled by default in kernel now. see "wifi" wiki on official gentoo wiki@ wiki.gentoo.org
