Kernel driver in use: i801_smbus
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh]
Network Connection
Subsystem: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100 AGN
Note that that it's not being "loaded" as a module. I'm building into
the kernel itself. Here's a snippet from .config
#
# Firmware loader
#
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

Directly from kernel.org itself. As I mentioned, the <Help> feature in
"make menuconfig" pointed there. I basically ran...
wget
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.a.11.tar.gz
> Which kernel version are you running ? `uname -r`
5.4.48-gentoo This a brand new install.
