Hi. As a newbie I have been trying to setup my Atheros Wireless card following one or two of the Gentoo Wiki's. I emerged a number of items, wireless tools etc but to no avail. When I run 'lspci' I receive the following: 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co Ltd RTL-8139/8139C/813C+ (rev 10) - My 10/100 Ethernet Card 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) - My Wireless Card An ifconfig shows: eth0 - MY LAN Ethernet card present in use l0 - My loopback address If I do a iwconfig I get: lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extensions sit0 no wireless extensions I e-mailed one of the Linux forums and was asked if I had run 'modprobe ath-pci' which I hadn't. When I do I get the following result: Warning: Error inserting ath_ha1 (/lib/modules/2.6.22-gentoo-r8/net/ath_ha1.ko): invalid module format Warning : Error inserting wlan (/lib/modules/2.6.22-gentoo-r8/net/wlan.ko): invalid module format : Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.22-gentoo-r8/net/ath_pci.ko) : invalid module format Can anyone point me in the right direction please so that I can resolve this error. Regards Darren

I posted to one of the Gentoo forums and had a couple of responses which I am about to see if I can implement. Ended up initially trying to upgrade my Kernel but lot's of googling has suggested that this wasn't the thing to do. I am preparing to re-compile my original Kernel (2.6.22-r8) and then I will do a make modules && make modules_install. Following this I will follow the madwifi guide again and see how far I get. BTW I do have PC Linux on my 1st HDD, Gentoo is on a 2nd disk. The main reason for installing it was to see if I could get a test of Cisco Netflow Tools working. I had some compile errors a while ago on Suse and a friend recommended Gentoo to me. I know it's going to take me a long time to learn Linux but I'm patient! Regards Darren
