Bugzilla Bug 64176

works on my system -- but i haven't tested the pcmcia part! I am using a usb
stick.

Portage 2.0.51_rc1 (default-linux/x86/2004.2/gcc34/2.6, gcc-3.4.1,

some comments:
- upstream: "Rename the man pages to have a .1 extension". so i changed the
'use build' part in src_install to remove the doc afterwards.
- fetch tar.bz2 instead of tar.gz
- not need to remove sandbox and userpriv from FEATURES on kernel 2.6!!
- defined IUSE before inherit pcmcia

Reproducible: Always

0.2.1_pre20-pre22.diff

- $( cd ${D}/usr/share && rm -r man )
+  ( cd ${D}/usr/share && rm -r man )

New version commited with most of the fixes in here along with some others.

PACKAGE IS MASKED.... you must unmask to test it. Masked because I don't have the hardware to test. Any mobile herd member got stuff to test it with and unmask?

I switched to ndiswrapper-0.11_rc1 because it supports my USB wlan module and
linux-wlan-ng is really not ready for 2.6. It doesn't work reliable.

At some point WEP encryption was broken. I tried to reemerge it -- and the
sandbox violation reappeared. From that point WEP worked only after i installed
it manually.

linux-wlan-ng gave you a sandbox error? what's the error? what version? what
kernel?

There was no ndiswrapper 0.11_rc1 ebuild, if a ndiswrapper ebuild gave you an
error, file a separate bug.

> linux-wlan-ng gave you a sandbox error? what's the error? what version? what kernel?

Yes, kernel 2.6.8 (right now) (#46787).
It once worked that was the reason why i commited this bug report and removed
the warning (which doesn't help if it's in pkg_postinst):
-       ewarn "Users emerging this with a 2.6 kernel still need to disable"
-       ewarn "sandbox and userpriv from FEATURES."

there was one in my overlay. 0.11_rc1 was the first version supporting my
hardware.

no bug -- works great.

Works for me without problems on ppc... just had to disable sandbox because of
access violations as in all versions before with a 2.6 kernel

I have no problems with pre22 at all (can't say that for the other versions
that are currently in portage as those don't support my card)... I'm using a
DLink PCMCIA card so I can vouch for that working with the 2.6 kernel without
any sandbox violation for me...
