Hi all.

This is the output of dmesg | grep iwl

xxx ~ # dmesg | grep iwl

Could someone please point me to some documentation about how to
configure/activate/use wireless with gentoo?

Thank you a lot,

emerge wicd

All your troubles will just go away. I'm talking about all the troubles that 
appear if you are so foolish as to install networkmanager

hehehe, wicd is really wicked stuff :-)

I had endless hassles with network manager's clients. Stuff would never work. 
My auth scripts to get a valid login and be allowed out of the network at work 
never worked right. 


The damn thing would be up and down more often than my girlfriend's Windows 
box. I was ready to toss the notebook out the window and go back to a desktop 
:-)

Then I found wicd. Since then I have also found peace and tranquillity, life 
is good, the network works as designed and I have rediscovered that I am 
indeed a human being as opposed to only a brutal harsh sysadmin.

Not bad for a simple python script, hey?

Take a look in /etc/conf.d/net.example

I'm using this scripts in every gentoo instalation.

Good Luck!

There is basically two ways I know of... Whatever the handbook says, and
nm-applet setting up the graphical network manager.  The graphical one
doesn't start up until you are in X and running, so some network
processes may not start.  There's a wiki on mn-applet.
