OK, apparently this is just my misunderstanding of the wlan drivers. They don't use "iwconfig" for configuration, but instead have their own configuration files which reside in /etc somewhere. These drivers are extremely difficult to configure. In the spirit of Gentoo, which is that the user should be allowed to pick and choose what he wants (not that Gentoo should force him to use any particular piece of software), I recommend that the "orinico_pci" driver (and dependent drivers, like "hermes") be included in the next LiveCD. For now, I'm marking this as "LATER". As far as I'm concerned, this is not fixed. But I do not have the authority or connections to get this driver put on the LiveCD at the moment. |
