As it looks to solve the problem?

On the side http://gentoo-wiki.com/MSI_Wind#Wireless is another driver referenced. The works very well for me. How has this driver with something in the wiki is to be done?
Comment 3 Aleksander Sandro Grm 2008-10-02 11:31:31 UTC
Yes, indeed new kernel (2.6.25-gentoo-r5) supports it well and solves my problem.
Thanks Thomas.
Comment 4 Thomas Rausch 2008-10-05 14:57:27 UTC
But I just noticed that the driver with invisible SSID's problems. :-(

They are visible, it goes without problems. Perhaps because I still do not understand something, but my question is, what the differences this driver in the Portage tree, are unfortunately not yet answered.
