In fact you can't emerge it at all with kernel 2.6.24. |

Heartfelt thanks from me! Your config has got my wifi working; now I'll have |

to find out what difference in particular between yours and mine caused it |

to spring into life. |

The key difference here is that you've defined variables for the SSID of the |
36 |
network link, where I would have used (was using) the interface to which |
37 |
that link is attached. /etc/conf.d/*.example don't make this clear at all. |
