Kernel driver in use: i801_smbus |

Note that that it's not being "loaded" as a module. I'm building into |
| 12 |
the kernel itself. Here's a snippet from .config |

Directly from kernel.org itself. As I mentioned, the <Help> feature in |
| 26 |
"make menuconfig" pointed there. I basically ran... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
wget https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.a.11.tar.gz |

5.4.48-gentoo This a brand new install. |
