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

Can't tell what that might be. Make sure your kernel configuration look like
shown above.

   - iwl4965: iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2

This error indicate a firmware version/filename mismatch. Just rename the
file to whatever iwlwifi displays in this case: iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode If this
fails, try an alternate version, perhaps
net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode-228.57.1.21.
The above is taken from Gentoo wiki troubleshoot section for iwlwifi
drivers. Try that in case you haven't already.

Hey thanks for the answer.

No luck with changing the name of the microcode.
