I have missed my wireless connection after emerging the new baselayout. I have got the problems since sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13, look at http:// forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-365997-highlight-.html It is something wrong with iwconfig, maybe something else. My wireless card is SMC2835 and is configured in /etc/hotplug/pci/prism54.

I have tried to configure my wireless card in my /etc/conf.d/net: key_lan="myWEPkey" but it did not worked. When I put "iwconfig eth1 key myWEPkey" in my /etc/conf.d/net the wireless card is working well. It can be only temporary solution, because it makes trouble with my cable setup. What I have to put here to get it working correctly?
Remove the /etc/hotplug/pci/prism54 directory you created and then put key_lan="myWEPkey" in /etc/conf.d/net or /etc/conf.d/wireless Try reading Gentoo documentation and not forum posts on prism54.org from over a year old which as posters there indicated is out of date to what Gentoo currently provides.
