When I was installing gentoo on my netbook I had to compile the wifi driver as a module because it couldn't load firmware if it was built in. Didn't find any other solution. There is another solution already explained by @Bruce Hill earlier in this thread. Regards.
I will test the two solutions. I will write the results. Regards,
