1 Hi all,

3 I am trying to get my wireless adapter (Intel 3945ABG) running.
4 following the instructions on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi I

11
12 =net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-228.57.2.21 ~amd64
13
14 to /etc/portage/package.keywords to use the version mentioned. Testing
15 what would be installed:
16
17 emerge net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode --pretend --verbose
18
19 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
20
21 Calculating dependencies... done!
22 [ebuild N ] net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-15.28.1.6 66 kB
23
24 Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 66 kB
25
26 So version 15.28.1.6 would be used... What am I missing?

28 Thanks for your help!
