> Hi can anyone help me resolve this problem. I'm running kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've built in support for the ipw2200 driver and installed fimrware image ipw2200-firmware-2.4 as the forums say the latest firmware image is not supported with my kernel version. I've got problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on dmesg. |

I would really suggest installing the ipw2200 drivers separately from |
| 5 |
the kernel, i.e. emerge net-wireless/ipw2200. To do so you should |
| 6 |
reconfigure your kernel so that it has basic Wireless Lan support, but |
| 7 |
with ieee80211 and ipw2200 turned off. The ipw2200 ebuild would bring |
| 8 |
in an outside copy of ieee80211, follow the instructions that come up |
| 9 |
at the emerge to remove the in-kernel source of ieee80211 completely. |
| 10 |
And you should also be able to use the 3.0 firmware. |

I've used the drivers from outside of the kernel since version 0.6 and |
| 13 |
never had any problem. |
