1 I'm having problems getting the wifi on my laptop to work.
2 The laptop is a Compaq Presario V5214ea
3 The wifi card is a Broadcom 4311 (rev 1)
4 I've been looking at the Gentoo Wiki page:
5 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_BCM43xx
6
7 The problem I've run into is with the kernel setup (kernel
8 linux-2.6.21-gentoo-r4)
9
10 Under
11 Device Drivers -->
12 Network device support -->
13 Wireless LAN drivers
14 "Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support" does not appear.
15 Has it been removed from the kernel for some reason? Do I need to enable some
16 other option in order to make this option available? I have enabled the PCI
17 express support.
18
19 Any clues would be most welcome
20 Thanks
21 Matt
