9 This is the device you need to get working, make sure /usr/src/linux
10 points to your current kernel version and try this:
11
12 # emerge -av ipw2100 ipw2100-firmware
13
14 If that goes well, then do this:
15
16 # modprobe ipw2100
17
18 # iwconfig
19
20 You should now have a device name.
21
22 # iwconfig <dev> essid any
23
24 # ifconfig <dev> up
25
26 # dhcpcd <dev>
27
28 # ping gentoo.org
