Hi folks, |

I got stuck when trying to get the Intel Wireless 5300 device running. |
| 4 |
I'm using the 2.6.31.gentoo-r6 kernel source and have tried several |
| 5 |
configuration options for getting this driver to work. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The gentoo os is running on a lenovo x200 notebook. |
| 8 |
|

It seems that the iwlagn module doesn't get compiled at all. When trying |
| 10 |
to run "modprobe iwlagn" I get the message "Module iwlagn not found". |
| 11 |
The device is properly recognized when using the Gentoo Live CD. There |
| 12 |
it uses the iwlagn module. So it should be possible to configure the |
| 13 |
kernel to do the same. |
| 14 |

I have found this forum post about configuring the 5300 device, but this |
| 16 |
guy used the 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel source and it looks like the kernel |
| 17 |
config options in menuconfig have changed. I cannot find a kernel config |
| 18 |
option called "Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN (iwlagn)". |

I'm a gentoo newbie and therefore would be very glad, if anyone could |
| 24 |
give me an advice in the right direction. |
