1 I have iwl3945 card:
2
3 # dmesg | grep iwl
4 iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.1.17ks
5 iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation
6 iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
7 iwl3945: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23 802.11a channels
8 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs'
9
10 And used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw3945 giud to setup my
11 wireless network.
12
13 My kernel is Linux 2.6.24-gentoo-r3.
14
15 Unfortunately I can't emerge iwlwifi (but maybe it's not required?):
16
17 # emerge -pv iwlwifi
18
19 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
20
21 Calculating dependencies... done!
22 [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10 USE="symlink -build" 44,216 kB
23 [ebuild N ] net-wireless/iwlwifi-1.2.23 USE="ipw3945 -ipw4965" 355 kB
24
25 Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 44,570 kB
26
27 - it wants gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10, but I emerged iwl3945-ucode-2.14.1.5.
28
29
30 Also looks like it's impossible to get WPA-PSK working with iwlwifi
31 driver - I didn't find any success story in Google.
32
33 At the moment I have:
34
35 # iwconfig
36 lo no wireless extensions.
37
38 eth0 no wireless extensions.
39
40 wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
41
42 wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
43 Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
44 Tx-Power=off
