1 OK ... You're a genius thanks ...!!! The following worked ...
2
3 # emerge -s 2100 returned net-wireless/ipw2100 and
4 net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware
5 # emerge -av ipw2100 ipw2100-firmware
6
7 I rebooted .. then after turning encryption back on and then:
8
9 # iwconfig returned new interface eth2
10 # iwconfig essid XXXXXX
11 # iwconfig key XXXXX
12 # dhcpcd eth2
13
14 Everything works ...!!!! So ... how do I enter this into /etc/conf.d/net so
15 it happens automatically at boot.
