No you can't. You see the pci devices. You don't see drivers. You need |
| 22 |
a drive either emerged or compiled into your kernel before the device |
| 23 |
will function. |

Did these two commands return successfully? |
| 32 |
After running your modprobe, what does lsmod show? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Also, what kernel version are you running? If it is reasonably new, |
| 35 |
(newer than 2.6.24), then don't use the standalone drivers from |
| 36 |
portage, please use the driver provided in the kernel. See |
| 37 |
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi |
| 38 |
for example configurations for kernels 2.6.{25,26,30} |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
But first you will have to remove ipw3945 and ipw3945-ucode from your |
| 41 |
system, and you will also need to instal iwl3945-ucode instead. |
