Hi there,

im having problems in getting my wifi card working with kernel 2.6.38 r6= .

I built the kernel with userspace firmware loading support, and with iwl= 3945 as a module.
I can successfully load the module, but when i try to bring wlan0 up, kerne= l messages says "firmware file req failed: -2", which i guess mea= ns file not found, even though i did emerge the microcode the kernel is loo= king for, and the microcode file is in /lib/firmware.

Am i missing some step? Do i have to run a daemon to load the microde?

Thanks!
Roberto
