[edit] Installation notes
Properly working WiFi 5000AGN comes with 2.6.27. So I use a 2.6.27-gentoo-r2 Kernel.
- using Gentoo 2008.0
- using USE flags as below:
File: /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
MAKEOPTS="-j4"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="-kde -arts cups \

Giving the folowing module parameter by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa as folowing:
File: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa
# Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel enable=1 enable_msi=1 single_cmd=0 power_save_controller=0 power_save=0
Do not forget to run update-modules to generate /etc/modprobe.conf
| Code: update-modules |
update-modules -f |
[edit] TV-Card
The DVB-T AVerMedia a309 is not supportet with the 2.6.27-gentoo-r2 Kernel. So you have to install the latest V4L drivers from cvs:
| Code: media-tv/v4l-dvb-hg |
emerge media-tv/v4l-dvb-hg |
The module is called dvb_usb_af9015.
I'm living in Switzerland. There was no initial-tuning-data-file for Swizerland so I created one.
File: /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/ch-Deutschschweiz
# DVB-T Deutschschweiz # by Berner Martin T 562000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/4 NONE T 562000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM16 8k 1/4 NONE
I'm using vlc for watching TV.
| Code: vlc |
emerge media-video/vlc |
[edit] Videocard
Using the latest nvidia-drivers.
| Code: nvidia-drivers |
echo "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers |
[edit] Wireless
The Intel Wifi 5000 needs firmware.

Don't use the r8169 module from kernel directly. Sometimes it will slow down the internet transfer speed. Download driver for 8111/8168B from RealTek's website and make it run. It may boost the speed. --wecing
