As of kernel 2.6.17 ipw2100 has been included in the kernel. Hence you |
| 18 |
shouldn't install either of net-wireless/ieee80211 or net-wireless/ipw2100. |
| 19 |
You still need to have net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware emerged though. I |
| 20 |
believe these are the kernel options you need (it works for me): |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
$ zgrep IPW2100\\\|IEEE80211 /proc/config.gz |
| 23 |
CONFIG_IEEE80211=m |
| 24 |
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set |
| 25 |
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=m |
| 26 |
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=m |
| 27 |
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=m |
| 28 |
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC is not set |
| 29 |
CONFIG_IPW2100=m |
| 30 |
# CONFIG_IPW2100_MONITOR is not set |
| 31 |
# CONFIG_IPW2100_DEBUG is not set |
