A few weeks ago I decided to finally upgrade my Gentoo profile, and this meant switching to the 2.6.x series of kernel. Since that upgrade I haven’t had any joy with wireless networking on my Thinkpad. The wireless card is the internal PCI one that comes with the T30.

In the past I had used the hostap driver, but that stopped working, but still claimed to detect the card. I’ve now switched to the orinoco driver and everything is working again. Now I just need to figure out how to make it call the network interface ‘wlan0′ instead of ‘eth1′.
