WEXT seems to suggest "wireless extensions" (but I might be wrong of course). I have the following options enabled in my kernel (some might be redundant): CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y CONFIG_CFG80211=y CONFIG_NL80211=y CONFIG_MAC80211=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RCSIMPLE=y CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG=y CONFIG_IEEE80211=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG=y CONFIG_WLAN_80211=y CONFIG_B43=y CONFIG_B43_PCI_AUTOSELECT=y CONFIG_B43_PCICORE_AUTOSELECT=y CONFIG_B43_DEBUG=y CONFIG_B43_DMA=y CONFIG_B43_PIO=y CONFIG_B43_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PCI_AUTOSELECT=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PCICORE_AUTOSELECT=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DEBUG=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PIO=y CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y I'm pretty sure some of them are redundant, but I have not had the time yet to read about the wireless extensions/*80211 changes and their implications. However, my card is working correctly with the above config. Is the firmware in place (the correct one for your driver)? Post the relevant sections from /var/log/messages where the wireless card is recognized and initialized. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
