I'm having problems getting the wifi on my laptop to work.
The laptop is a Compaq Presario V5214ea
The wifi card is a Broadcom 4311 (rev 1)
I've been looking at the Gentoo Wiki page: 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_BCM43xx

The problem I've run into is with the kernel setup (kernel 
linux-2.6.21-gentoo-r4)

Under 
Device Drivers --> 
   Network device support --> 
     Wireless LAN drivers 
 "Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support" does not appear.  
Has it been removed from the kernel for some reason?  Do I need to enable some 
other option in order to make this option available?  I have enabled the PCI 
express support.  

Any clues would be most welcome
Thanks
Matt
