[gentoo-laptop] wireless. livecd or own

[Gavin Seddon]

Hi,
I'm up-and-running.  I used a livecd.  I specified wireless but it's not
working.  Can anyone suggest anything or should I build my owm kernel
and follow my googled instructions?

There is a -s from net.lo to net.eth0.  I read it should be to net.eth1?
Gavin.

Hello!

Which wireless NIC do you have?

Can you please supply the output of

dmesg
ifconfig -a

and

lsmod
?

Fi.

Hello,

I recomend to install it over wire till you get working minimal 
gentoo system. But it depends which wireless card you have and
what security (WPE, WPA, etc.) uses your AP-point. In worst case
your wireless works only with ndiswrapper, which isn't in any
Live-CD (or it is, but your card need newer version)...

Cards which are supported in kernel should work from LiveCD, but 
even in this situation I prefer to install minimal system from 
wire connection. Because you will config wifi only once. 
(Yes I'm lazy, but who isn't? ;-) )
