Build driver as module, ensure that you have correct entry in /etc/conf.d/modules [1] [2] (this will auto load wifi driver). And you should be fine. Just for the test you can load it by hand # modprobe "ipw2200-driver-name" Regards, Ivan [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/Baselayout_1_to_2_migration [2] $ cat /etc/conf.d/modules modules="ipw2200-driver-name" > > Thanks. >
