I'm having problems getting the wifi on my laptop to work. |
2 |
The laptop is a Compaq Presario V5214ea |
3 |
The wifi card is a Broadcom 4311 (rev 1) |
4 |
I've been looking at the Gentoo Wiki page: |
5 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_BCM43xx |
6 |
|
7 |
The problem I've run into is with the kernel setup (kernel |
8 |
linux-2.6.21-gentoo-r4) |
9 |
|
10 |
Under |
11 |
Device Drivers --> |
12 |
Network device support --> |
13 |
Wireless LAN drivers |
14 |
"Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support" does not appear. |
15 |
Has it been removed from the kernel for some reason? Do I need to enable some |
16 |
other option in order to make this option available? I have enabled the PCI |
17 |
express support. |
18 |
|

Any clues would be most welcome |

Thanks |
