I upgraded to gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r2 today and decided to give the in-kernel usb wireless driver a shot. It compiled fine but when I try to run it, initialize the interface, I get a screwy error: #> /etc/init.d/net.wlan1 restart * Starting wlan1 SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory * Configuring wireless network for wlan1 * Failed to configure wireless for wlan1 [ !! ] This is the first time I have tried to use this driver so I am not sure what the problem is.
