65 Did you install the firmwarefiles for your WIFI-adapter?
66
67 try:
68
69 emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware
70
71
72 If that works, you could uninstall it again and try to narrow it down
73 to your specific card - net-wireless/iwl6000-ucode would be my gues...
74
75 That could explain, why a livecd works (the firmware is included there).
