You want the portage builds. I'm going by memory (laptop is at home, |
| 9 |
I'm at work) but there are three things to emerge: ieee80211, ipw2200 |
| 10 |
and ipw2200-firmware. (The names might be a little off...) In any |
| 11 |
case, the 802.11 ebuild will check your kernel config & tell you if |
| 12 |
there is a problem with your config, and how to deal with it by running |
| 13 |
a (provided) script. Nice & easy! |

Sorry my note isn't crisp on details, but I'm sure others will correct |
| 16 |
my fuzzy memory if I've left out anything. Good luck, |
