You see the pci devices. You don't see drivers. You need a drive either emerged or compiled into your kernel before the device will function. <snip> > So typed this > > emerge ipw3945 and modprobe ipw3945 Did these two commands return successfully? After running your modprobe, what does lsmod show? Also, what kernel version are you running? If it is reasonably new, (newer than 2.6.24), then don't use the standalone drivers from portage, please use the driver provided in the kernel. See http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi for example configurations for kernels 2.6.{25,26,30} But first you will have to remove ipw3945 and ipw3945-ucode from your system, and you will also need to instal iwl3945-ucode instead.
