I was following the Gentoo Handbook to install the system. I couldn't get networking to work following the instructions in the chapter 3. For my case, WPA-PSK wlan, the instruction were insufficient. I did what it said and there was simply no Internet. It is not a wiki, so I can't fix it. I think it should at least say that the instructions dont work for WPA-PSK secured wireless networks (majority?). To get it working for me I have used wpa_supplicant Reproducible: Always
Which CD did you use? Which handbook did you follow? Did the CD provide wpa_supplicant, or did you have to emerge wpa_supplicant after you finished installing Gentoo? As far as I know the CDs do not ship with wpa_supplicant, nor do they ship with drivers for all hardware. FYI, The handbook actually *does* provide chapters on wireless networking: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=4 Depending on the information you can provide, we may be able to add a link to this chapter earlier in the handbook.
In reply to Josh Saddler I was following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml wpa_supplicant was available on LiveCD the link to the chapter about network configuration from chapter 3 would have helped me
x86 and amd64 ships with wpa_supplicant if I can believe the spec files
Note added with link to wireless networking chapter.
