You can check if the firmware is included in the kernel config: grep -i wifi /usr/src/linux/.config If CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE is set, then a firmware is included. You just need to check if it's the right one for your wifi chip. Otherwise you can set some options in /etc/genkernel.conf. Set MENUCONFIG="yes" to be able to configure your kernel by yourself and set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE there. Or instead you can set those options in /etc/genkernel.conf: FIRMWARE="yes" FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" FIRMWARE_FILES="<file names for your WIFI firmware>" I have't tried the latter, because I usually configure my kernel by myself with menuconfig. I only use genkernel as an easier way to have the kernel compiled, installed and the initrd built. Heiko
