Intel 6000 Series WiFi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN) Intel Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN
The iwlwifi Linux kernel driver supports several Intel wireless LAN adapters: Intel Wireless WiFi Link, Wireless-N, Advanced-N, Ultimate-N devices.Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 - a 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter which is used in some laptops.Iwlwifi - the wireless driver for Intel's current wireless chips.Iproute2 - a tool developed to unify network interface configuration, routing, and tunneling for Linux systems.Forum thread: USB nano 0bda:b812 RTL88x2bu driver needed.
Some networks with WPA or WPA2 may still use the legacy TKIP protocol instead of AES to connect.

If the driver requires firmware but does not appear on the list, it will be necessary to download it manually and place it in /lib/firmware. Only those verified by kernel developers are enabled by default. May need the CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED kernel option to find all devices. See the iwlwifi article for detailed instructions.
Proprietary, no AP or Monitor modes, Comparison of bcm43xx drivers Lacks powersaving, LED support and other features If a Linux (LiveCD/USB) is booted that makes a WiFi connection:Īircrack-ng ready, most probably the best choice when a bcm43xx device is supported lspci or lsusb are command-line tools that can be used for this task. Be aware that some special steps may be required when using a non-Gentoo live CD.įirst detect the WiFi controllers.
If the minimal install CD does not contain the required drivers or the graphical frontend to wpa_supplicant is preferred, choose a different live CD such as the System Rescue CD. If a WiFi connection is needed while installing Gentoo, note that the Gentoo minimal install CD has a limited number of drivers available, and provides only wpa_cli (and not wpa_gui) for configuring for WPA/WPA2/Enterprise connections.
