Subject: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.27 and iwl3945-ucode
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:11:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <93d30e950904220511l502992b8n56a8af280ae6f61a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I am trying to get my wireless adapter (Intel 3945ABG) running.
following the instructions on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi I
compiled the kernel accordingly. Now the howto states:

 For kernel 2.6.27 and later, use the second slot(version 228.57.2.21)
which needs to be unmasked in package.keywords.

Since I am rather new to gentoo, I am not really sure what to do. I added

=net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-228.57.2.21 ~amd64

to /etc/portage/package.keywords to use the version mentioned. Testing
what would be installed:

emerge net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode --pretend --verbose

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-15.28.1.6  66 kB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 66 kB

So version 15.28.1.6 would be used... What am I missing?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
 Marco
