Things are going fairly well but there have been a few problems. This one I need to work out first. 1) My son's machine was rebuilt with gcc-4 following the upgrade guide. Everything went well and it finished up yesterday afternoon. Since I use ndiswrapper on that machine I rebuilt the kernel with gcc-4 and I rebooted with the new kernel and new drivers. Everything worked great including wireless, MythTV frontend, Aqualung, etc. 2) This morning I cold booted and everything worked. I did an eix-sync and had a couple of things to build so I did that. One of them was new a udev package. Coldplug was removed from the machine. 3) I *think* I warm booted at this point and things still worked but I'm not positive on that. However I then booted the machine into Windows to check that it was still there for games, and then warm booted back into Gentoo. At this point wireless was completely gone. I tried cold booting but that didn't help so I don't think running Windows made any real difference. a) /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stays it's stopped. If I try to start wlan0 I'm told it doesn't exist. b) I have the link from net.wlan0 to net.lo. c) I rebuilt ndiswrapper and it loads. ndiswrapper -l tells me that the driver is loaded and the device is present. d) All the basic stuff like route doesn't see the interface, as expected I guess. Where might I look for what's gone wrong? As an aside, the Gentoo kernels remove support for stack size changes so ndiswrapper complains about the kernel when it's emerged. Is there a patch to get an 8K stack size option back again? Why does anyone remove this in the first place instead of just setting it to a sane default? Sorry I Cannot send any info from the box but it's off the net. Thanks in advance, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
