Hi!
Normally I habe wireless connection, but the last days I could use wired, so I overlooked "wireless".
Since the last update I cannot connect the net with WiFi.

^That begs the obvious question: Do you actually have rfkill installed?:

Code: Select all: # equo install rfkill

You appear to be using the same Intel WiFi controller chipset (5300) as me:

You have to install the eix utility:

Code: Select all: # equo install eix

and update its index file:

Code: Select all: # eix-update

Then you can can use it.

I'm not using the external iwlwifi driver either. The text you quoted is referring to the obsolete package net-wireless/iwlwifi which used to exist prior to kernel 2.6.24, which was removed from the Portage tree some time ago:

Code: Select all: # eix iwlwifi No matches found.

You can still see an old ebuild for it here: http://gpo.zugaina.org/net-wireless/iwlwifi

The *-ucode package is something different: it's microcode/firmware for the controller. There is different microcode for a range of different controllers:

Code: Select all: $ eix ucode [I] net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode Available versions: (~)1.13 1.14.2 Installed versions: 1.14.2(20:08:54 30/03/10) Homepage: http://www.bughost.org/ipw3945/ Description: Microcode for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG miniPCI express adapter * net-wireless/iwl1000-ucode Available versions: (~)39.31.5.1 128.50.3.1 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 1000BGN ucode * net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode Available versions: (0) 2.14.1.5 15.28.1.6 15.28.1.8 (1) (~)15.28.2.8 15.32.2.9 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection ucode * net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode Available versions: (0) (~)4.44.1.18 4.44.1.20 228.57.1.21 (1) 228.57.2.21 228.57.2.23 228.61.2.24 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN ucode [I] net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode Available versions: (0) 5.4.0.11 (1) 8.24.2.12 (~)8.83.5.1 Installed versions: 5.4.0.11(20:08:54 30/03/10) 8.83.5.1(1)(18:08:07 25/06/11) Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100/5300 ucode * net-wireless/iwl5150-ucode Available versions: (~)8.24.2.2 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 5150-AGN ucode * net-wireless/iwl6000-ucode Available versions: (~)9.221.4.1 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Advanced N 6000 ucode * net-wireless/iwl6050-ucode Available versions: (~)9.201.4.1 (~)41.28.5.1 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 6250-AGN ucode * sys-kernel/amd-ucode Available versions: (~)2011.01.11!m Homepage: http://www.amd64.org/support/microcode.html Description: AMD Family 10h, 11h and 14h microcode patch data * x11-drivers/radeon-ucode Available versions: 20110302 (~)20110531 Homepage: http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/ Description: IRQ microcode for r6xx/r7xx/Evergreen/Northern Islands Radeon GPUs and APUs Found 10 matches.

Thus, one needs to install the microcode even if one is using a kernel module:

I'm using the Sabayon 2.6.37 kernel, which I've modified in other areas but not in the WiFi area. I expect something has changed in the 2.6.39 kernel config, so let's compare the Sabayon 2.6.37 kernel config with the Sabayon 2.6.39-r7 kernel config:

Code: Select all: meshedgedx ~ # cd /usr/src meshedgedx src # ls linux linux-2.6.37-sabayon linux-2.6.39-sabayon rpm meshedgedx src # cat linux-2.6.37-sabayon/.config | grep IWL CONFIG_IWLWIFI=m # CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_IWLAGN=m CONFIG_IWL4965=y CONFIG_IWL5000=y CONFIG_IWL3945=m meshedgedx src # cat linux-2.6.39-sabayon/.config | grep IWL CONFIG_IWLAGN=m # CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_IWL_P2P=y CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEGACY=m # CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEGACY_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_IWL4965=m CONFIG_IWL3945=m meshedgedx src #

"=m" means build a kernel module. "=y" means build it in-kernel.

As you can see above, I have CONFIG_IWL5000 in-kernel, but I still need the microcode installed.

Now, for the 2.6.39 kernel: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.39/driv ... cy/Kconfig

so IWLWIFI_LEGACY covers the Intel 4965 and 3945 WiFi controllers.

And, for the 2.6.39 kernel: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.39/driv ... fi/Kconfig

so IWLWIFI covers the list of Intel WiFi controllers listed on the above-linked page, which includes our 5300AGN controller. Notice what that page states:

In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:

<http://intellinuxwireless.org/>.

The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
runs.

If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The
module will be called iwlagn.

However, CONFIG_IWL5000 was dropped in the 2.6.39 kernel, which is why you don't see it in the Sabayon 2.6.39-r7 config. So what replaced it? Well, let's see what happens if I were to merge (install) the sources package for the Sabayon 2.6.39-r7 kernel without using the sources_standalone USE flag:

Try that. (Reboot after installing.)

For eix to work you need to have synchronised with the Portage tree and Sabayon overlay first (see the SL Wiki article Entropy):

Code: Select all: # emerge --sync # equo install git # layman -a sabayon # Don't worry if it tells you it's added already. # layman -S # equo install eix # eix-update

For the rest I'll look later as I'm just going out to the cinema.

Right. Well, eix has nothing to with your WiFi problem but hopefully you now understand how to: a) synchronise your PC with the Portage tree and with a Portage overlay (in this case the Sabayon overlay); b) install the eix utility via Entropy (the eix utility is for searching the Portage tree and Portage overlays you have added to your PC); c) use the eix-update command in order to update the eix utility's index file (which you need to do from time to time so that eix knows the latest status of all ebuilds on your PC).

Now that you have eix installed and the eix index file up-to-date, you can use eix to search the ebuilds that you downloaded to your PC by using the emerge --sync and layman -S commands, and see which packages are installed, along with detailed information on those packages. For example:

Code: Select all: # eix linux-firmware * sys-kernel/linux-firmware Available versions: 20110429 (~)20110601 (~)20110604 (~)20110616[1] **99999999 {savedconfig} Homepage: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/dwmw2/firmware Description: Linux firmware files [1] "sabayon" /var/lib/layman/sabayon

As you can see above, linux-firmware is not installed on my main laptop. This is because I have the Sabayon 2.6.37 kernel which requires iwl5000-ucode to be installed instead for my model of WiFi controller. You can see that I have iwl5000-ucode installed by looking at the output from eix below:

Code: Select all: # eix ucode [I] net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode Available versions: (~)1.13 1.14.2 Installed versions: 1.14.2(20:08:54 30/03/10) Homepage: http://www.bughost.org/ipw3945/ Description: Microcode for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG miniPCI express adapter * net-wireless/iwl1000-ucode Available versions: (~)39.31.5.1 128.50.3.1 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 1000BGN ucode * net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode Available versions: (0) 2.14.1.5 15.28.1.6 15.28.1.8 (1) (~)15.28.2.8 15.32.2.9 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection ucode * net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode Available versions: (0) (~)4.44.1.18 4.44.1.20 228.57.1.21 (1) 228.57.2.21 228.57.2.23 228.61.2.24 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN ucode [I] net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode Available versions: (0) 5.4.0.11 (1) 8.24.2.12 (~)8.83.5.1 Installed versions: 5.4.0.11(20:08:54 30/03/10) 8.83.5.1(1)(18:08:07 25/06/11) Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100/5300 ucode * net-wireless/iwl5150-ucode Available versions: (~)8.24.2.2 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 5150-AGN ucode * net-wireless/iwl6000-ucode Available versions: (~)9.221.4.1 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Advanced N 6000 ucode * net-wireless/iwl6050-ucode Available versions: (~)9.201.4.1 (~)41.28.5.1 Homepage: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi Description: Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 6250-AGN ucode * sys-kernel/amd-ucode Available versions: (~)2011.01.11!m Homepage: http://www.amd64.org/support/microcode.html Description: AMD Family 10h, 11h and 14h microcode patch data * x11-drivers/radeon-ucode Available versions: 20110302 (~)20110531 Homepage: http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/ Description: IRQ microcode for r6xx/r7xx/Evergreen/Northern Islands Radeon GPUs and APUs Found 10 matches.

So, if you used Entropy to install linux-firmware successfully (a previous post of yours appears to show that you did), you should now be able to see that it is installed by using the eix command:

Code: Select all: eix -I linux-firmware

So just check that first. (The "-I" switch tells eix just to display installed packages that match the search keyword "linux-firmware", not all packages that match the search keyword "linux-firmware".)
