Hi list!
I have a laptop running Gentoo Linux. It has two net interfaces: a
RJ-45 one (eth0, works fine) and a wireless one (doesn't work). The
problem is the system doesn't know about eth1. It doesn't exist.i
I've been googling around and i've found nothing useful.
The output of some commands in Gentoo are:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:0D:C4:F8:F4
inet addr:192.168.0.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

and
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
When i boot with knoppix the interface is recognized correctly,
the output of the same commands in the knoopix 3.2 prompt are: (note
that knoppix calls eth1 what gentoo call eth0)
root@ttyp0[dev]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
Warning: Driver for device eth0 has been compiled with version 14
of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 15.
Some things may be broken...

What is wrong?
I'm almost sure that the kernel is properly configured. The
modules loaded are the same knoppix loads. What should i do for the
wireless net interface to be recognized?
Thanks in advance.
