Now that laptops with Intel's Core 2 Duo CPU has entered the market, some people (like me) want to run them in 64-bit mode. Most of these laptops use Intel's ProWireless 3945-chip for wireless networking. I have tested the driver by manually editing the ebuilds (adding ~amd64 keyword), and it works, at least with my AP at home. The ebuilds are: net-wireless/ipw3945 net-wireless/ipw3945d net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode [emerge --info] Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 10:00:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.29 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://ds.thn.htu.se/linux/gentoo" LINGUAS="" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/micke" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac acpi alsa arts asf audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cli crypt cups dbus dlloader dri dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread dvdrw eds elibc_glibc emboss encode fam fbsplash ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gif gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal ieee1394 imap input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipv6 isdnlog java javascript jpeg kde kernel_linux libg++ mad matroska mikmod mmx2 mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session sndfile spell spl sse3 sse4 ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU video_cards_fbdev video_cards_i810 video_cards_vesa vorbis wifi xine xml xorg xprint xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I confirme, ipw build et run on amd64.
ipw3945 run, sorry, my vernum key was unlock.
I'm trying to install this package on an mostly stable amd64 system, but it fails. Any pointers appreciated.

*** Bug 156588 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm several successfull (and working) compiles on Intel Core2 Duo by adding ~amd64 in the ebuild files. Works like a charm, please add the keyword to the regular ebuild (I have a copy of it in my portdir_overlay).
Confirmed that this package works fine with a Core 2 Duo T7400 CPU (~amd64). Please add the ~amd64 keyword. net-wireless/ieee80211-1.2.15 USE="-debug" net-wireless/ipw3945-1.1.2 USE="-debug" net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r3 net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode-1.13
confirmed to work flawlessly on my dell xps c2d T7200, running amd64 and relevant versions like comment #6 I too recommend it for a ~amd64.
Another success here on T5600 (Intel Core 2 Duo).
(In reply to comment #3) The problem I encountered seems to be resolved: I installed (on a core 2 duo system with mostly stable amd64 gentoo): * net-wireless/ieee80211-1.2.15 * net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode-1.13 * net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r3 * net-wireless/ipw3945-1.1.3 I therefore also request the necessary packages go ~amd64.
no problem with * net-wireless/ieee80211-1.2.15 * net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode-1.13 * net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.18 everything works on Core 2 Duo ( T5600 ~amd64)
I confirme, ipw3945 build and run on amd64. Please add the ~amd64 keyword.
Thank you all for testing, all done.
