Is there anyway to modify the x86 install CD? |

Last night I tried to install Gentoo on my laptop and things just didn't |
| 4 |
work out. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I know all the major devices work with Linux because I put in Ubuntu |
| 7 |
6.06 - Dapper Drake and my Intel wireless ipw2200 and sound worked OTB. |
| 8 |
The sound didn't work with the Gentoo install CD which is no biggie |
| 9 |
since I can fix that after install. However, the killer was that there |
| 10 |
was no support for ipw2200! I looked in /lib/firmware and there were |
| 11 |
the firmware binaries for the 2100, but not the 2200. I couldn't |
| 12 |
download the firmware since Gentoo didn't have support for my wireless |
| 13 |
card. I tried to do an install without network but it failed. Looking |
| 14 |
at the log, emerge tried to get to the net. I also noticed that there |
| 15 |
was no stage-3 on the x86 liveCD installer so I picked to make the |
| 16 |
packages from the CD itself. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I put in a pcmcia D-Link card and dmesg showed it, however iwconfig |
| 19 |
didn't list it and Gentoo didn't do anything with it. The docs on the |
| 20 |
CD weren't much help for wireless. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I am going on vacation tomorrow and would really like to have Gentoo, |
| 23 |
though I will "deal" with Ubuntu 6.06 if need be. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Has anyone gotten an Intel pro wireless 2200 (ipw2200) working with |
| 26 |
Gentoo and more specifically with the installer? |
