Wifi AR9287 not working gentoo, installed ATH9K


Hello,

I'm using Gentoo a few days and I can't get my wifi card ATH9K working, I followed all steps from this site, but still it didn't work, on my internal HDD, I get an error relating to RF-KILL when I want to set my wifi up. I don't got rfkill installed. On my external HDD it won't see my
wifi at all, it isn't listed as wlan0, wlp6s0 or any other name like that.

I've compiled the kernel multiple times using

Code:
# genkernel --menuconfig all
but when it runs I get the old genkernel data which wasn't right.

Edit: I've fixed it by going to the source directory in the terminal, made the original .config file and recompiled with the right modules.

I hope you can help me,
cedric Linux
