You said that the module didn't get compiled: did you configure the |

kernel to include it? |

If you are in menuconfig, you can always hit / to bring up the search |
| 23 |
screen, and type in IWL as your search string. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
In 2.6.31-gentoo-r9, go to |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Device Drivers -> Network device support -> Wireless LAN -> Wireless |
| 28 |
LAN (IEEE 802.11) -> Intel Wireless Wifi |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
to enable IWLWIFI first, and then you should be able to see the |
| 31 |
Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN option. |
