I have configured my kernel properly from what I can tell and emerged |

However my computer doesn't show a wireless network to connect too. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
What do I need is to know what to add to... |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
/etc/conf.d/net |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
and |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
Thanks |
| 83 |
