Hi folks,
I got stuck when trying to get the Intel Wireless 5300 device running.
I'm using the 2.6.31.gentoo-r6 kernel source and have tried several
configuration options for getting this driver to work.
The gentoo os is running on a lenovo x200 notebook.
It seems that the iwlagn module doesn't get compiled at all. When trying
to run "modprobe iwlagn" I get the message "Module iwlagn not found".
The device is properly recognized when using the Gentoo Live CD. There
it uses the iwlagn module. So it should be possible to configure the
kernel to do the same.
I have found this forum post about configuring the 5300 device, but this
guy used the 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel source and it looks like the kernel
config options in menuconfig have changed. I cannot find a kernel config
option called "Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN (iwlagn)".
Link to forum post:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-792424-highlight-5300.html
I'm a gentoo newbie and therefore would be very glad, if anyone could
give me an advice in the right direction.
Thank you very much!
Best regards
Shoka
You should be able to find the iwlagn in Device Drivers -> Network Device
Support -> Wireless Lan
There you need to set "Intel Wireless Wifi" and then the option should
appear :-)
