Wireless card

03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)

Thought I have followed the directions of the kernel document,but it still can't find the wireless card,after the google search ,it must enable the following options for the kernel

Device Drivers->Broadcom specific AMBA->
                   < *> BCMA Support
                    [*] Support for BCMA on PCI-host bus

And you can find the firmware in the

 ls /lib/firmware/b43/
 
 

ALSA Sound card

Add the hda-intel to /etc/make.conf

ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel"

And config the kernel options fo intel hda,after these I think it should work well,but wtf,it is no sound.I almost use alsa-mixer to set all the values to the largest,but useless.

Then one day,I use the System→Volume Control,I found some settings are set to mute,that is the problem,after correct,it works well,so strange.

ALSA Settings

Refer to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

emerge alsa-utils
rc-update add alsasound boot
gpasswd -a <username> audio 

aticonfig

When I upgrade the kernel to 3.3.8,it can't startx correctly,after google search,need do the aticonfig to generate the /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

aticonfig --initial

Reference

Touchpad:The touchpad works flawlessly with xf86-input-mtrack.

http://dentifrice.poivron.org/laptops/macbookpro8,2/

emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-mtrack

Append section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputClass"
	 MatchIsTouchpad "true"
	 Identifier      "Touchpads"
	 Driver          "mtrack"
 EndSection

Fix boot after reinstall Mac OS X

1.Of course,first should install rEFIt,and sync the MBR partition list. 2.Fix the grub command,it is really strange,after the new install of Mac OS X,the sda5 has been changed to sda4:

splashimage=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Gentoo Linux root (hd0,3) root=/dev/sda4 /boot/kernel-3.3.8 
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/kernel-3.3.8 root=/dev/sda4

title Gentoo Linux root (hd0,4) root=/dev/sda5 /boot/kernel-3.3.8 
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/kernel-3.3.8 root=/dev/sda5

And the fstab also need update:

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda4              /           ext4            noatime         0 0
#/dev/sda4 /boot		ext2		noauto,noatime	1 2
/dev/sda3		/home		ext4		noatime		0 1
#/dev/SWAP		none		swap		sw		0 0
/dev/cdrom		/mnt/cdrom	auto		noauto,ro	0 0
/dev/fd0		/mnt/floppy	auto		noauto		0 0
