You may not have the right kernel setup. In particular, I think you want "Networking > Wireless > Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)" in preference to the one without "mac80211" in it, which is older. I assume you've selected the right wireless device driver, but in case it helps here's what I have: "Device Drivers > Network device support > Wireless LAN > Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)" and (in the same menu) "Intel Wireless WiFi Link Drivers" and the 3945 module. (I should perhaps say this is a Thinkpad T61 with the Intel 3945ABG chipset.) -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
