Installation
NoteSince the
Minimal Installation CD[1] does not come with the necessary firmware to use the wireless networking controller you will be forced to use another live system, if you are planning to establish a wireless lan connection during installation.
Firmware
The Wi-Fi module requires external firmware (hardware specific package sys-firmware/iwl7260-ucode or the general package sys-kernel/linux-firmware):
root #emerge --ask sys-firmware/iwl7260-ucode
or
root #emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware

Troubleshooting
Suspend/Resume does not work
A common problem can be encountered if the TPM chip has been activated in UEFI/BIOS. If the kernel lacks the necessary drivers the system freezes when attempting to resume from a suspend. As a solution, enable TPM in the kernel.
