Folks, |

I am having a fairly strange problem with my iwl5000 and the microcode. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
After a fresh install Gentoo install wireless works with no issues. |
| 6 |
Upon installing a set that includes xorg, Firefox, hal, VirtualBox, |
| 7 |
etc. the wireless ceases to work. Check out a snippet from my dmesg: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
~ % dmesg | grep -i iwl |

| 19 |
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Re-emerging the microcode, wpa_supplicant, wireless-tools, etc. |
| 22 |
doesn't seem to do anything. The wireless still doesn't work. These |
| 23 |
files *do* exist where they belong (/lib/firmware). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Once I emerge the set (below), a reload then results in the error(s) above. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Google didn't reveal much. Any thoughts / ideas on how to troubleshoot |
| 28 |
this would be appreciated. |
