Hi all,
after some updating (emerge --sync and emerge --update --deep world,
etc.) my wirelss card does not work anymore.
In the boot messagesI have:
[...]

SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

And dmesg shows:

Did you install the microcode?
emerge -pv net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

Yes, it seems to be installed.
You may need to REinstall it.
I would guess the installer might put the firmware in /lib/modules/
`uname -r`/something
If you change the kernel version, the `uname -r` path changes.
Stroller.
