Doesn't look like anyone is supporting Gentoo. I will rebuild the system with Ubuntu then.
Sorry it took a while to respond; it was a busy week due to moving offices. Are you still interested in debugging this problem, or have you worked around it by installing something else?
I haven't had time to rebuild the system. The driver works on linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 but I have the firmware issue when booting linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r7. The .config from linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 was used to build linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r7 after doing the make oldconfig.
Ok, please post your .config for both the broken system and the working system. One thing to check for is CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y, in case you've got the same problem as in this LKML thread: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0902.0/01535.html
That was the problem. CONFIG_FW_LOADER was set to module. Changed it to CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y and rebuilt the kernel. Everything is working now. Thanks for the help.
