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 iwl3945
as a module.
I can successfully load the module, but when i try to bring wlan0 up, kernel
messages says "firmware file req failed: -2", which i guess means file not
found, even though i did emerge the microcode the kernel is looking 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
