Re: [gentoo-user] iwl5000 firmware fails to load

[James]

Running 2.6.35-r8. I suspected hal, as well.

If I look through my /var/log/dmesg output, the load messages are
almost identical to yours before I emerge the set.

Unfortunately unmerging and re-emerging hal didn't seem to do anything.

Then again -- would hal really have anything to do with the kernel
loading the firmware? Hal shouldn't even be started by that point.
