It works fine for me on my laptop. There is an opened bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195137 But it also affect to current stable version: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195137#c3 And with kernel-2.6.22 there is no problem at all (this is the current stable kernel) My emerge --info: Portage 2.1.3.16 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz Timestamp of tree: Thu, 01 Nov 2007 12:20:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium-m -mfpmath=sse -msse3" CHOST="i686-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/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium-m -mfpmath=sse -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ " LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_ALL="es_ES.UTF-8" LINGUAS="es es_ES en_US" 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 --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi aim alsa ape arts asf audiofile avahi avi bash-completion bcmath beagle bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 bzlib cairo caps cdb cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrparanoia cli cpdflib cracklib cross crypt css cups curl curlwrappers daap dbus divx4linux dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emerald encode escreen esd exif fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran ftp galago gb gcj gd gif gimp gimpprint glitz glut glx gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal iconv imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack java jikes jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility latex lcms lesstif libnotify logrotate mac mad mbox midi mikmod mime ming mmap mmx mmxext mng modplug mono motif mp3 mpeg mpi mplayer mudflap musepack musicbrainz nas ncurses nethack nls nocd nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia ogg oggvorbis openal opengl openmp opnegl pam pcmcia pcre pdf pdflib perl pic png pnp posix ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection reiserfs rpm rtc ruby scanner sdl seamonkey session slang slp smp sndfile sockets socks5 speex spell spl sse sse2 sse3 ssl startup-notification svg syslog tcltk tcpd tetex tga theora threads tiff timidity tk truetype truetype-fonts trusted type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vcd videos vim vorbis wifi win32codecs wma wmf wxwindows x86 xcomposite xine xml xorg xpm xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" DVB_CARDS=" " ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="es es_ES en_US" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vesa fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Always
There are quite some things that need fixing till a newer version is going to get stabled. But I rather doubt it, that there's ever going to be a stable version for this package ever, as .22 already has the new WLAN stack and the iwlwifi driver (net-wireless/iwlwifi) is already in portage.

lack, dang: could you please request stable keywording?
I agree, it is time for this to go stable. Arch teams? Please do your magic.
