Hi all,

after some updating (emerge --sync and emerge --update --deep world,
etc.) my wirelss card does not work anymore.

In the boot messagesI have:
[...]
 * Starting wlan0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP
[ ok ] *   Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ...
[ ok ] *     Backgrounding ...
[...]

And dmesg shows:
[...]

Some research on 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory' showed that
this is often caused by missing firmware for the wireless card. But
net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode is installed on my system.

Any hints on how to fix?

Thanks!
