I'm not sure how broadly it's used but I have one. There is a driver in advanced development at http://aluminum.sourmilk.net/adm8211/ and it looks stable on my machine. The driver hasn't been accepted to the mainline kernel yet (maybe to -mm, I haven't checked). Sample lspci output: 0000:00:0d.0 Network controller: Linksys ADMtek ADM8211 802.11b Wireless Interface (rev 11) Please include in gentoo-sources. dsd@gentoo.org 2005-06-17 01:16:33 0000 mobile: fancy patching the makefile and writing an ebuild to build this as an external kernel module? This won't be included in gentoo-sources but it should be easy to build outside of the kernel sources for now. henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-06-17 01:29:41 0000 Actually, the provided Makefile is geared towards external compilation. Should be trivial to write a linux-mod.eclass based ebuild for it. henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-06-17 02:51:43 0000 Created an attachment (id=61375) adm8211-20050323.ebuild Here's an ebuild for the adm8211-20050323 driver. Please test. weaver@gentoo.org 2005-06-17 05:08:44 0000 May I add that a separate package is of not much use to someone who wants to boot, connect and install from livecd and whose only network card is an adm8211. What's the policy that prevents this from going into gentoo-sources? henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-06-17 05:15:03 0000 Well, if this ebuild makes it way into portage you just need to convince our release engineers to include it on the next livecd. It will not go into gentoo-sources as it can be handled as en external ebuild more easily. This is the way gentoo works; if something can be done as a stand-alone ebuild it should be preferred. This way we can update the adm8211 driver without having to bump the kernel version - and only users who actually need that particular driver will have to install it. Have you tested the attached ebuild? weaver@gentoo.org 2005-06-17 08:43:46 0000 The ebuild works fine here, thanks. genstef@gentoo.org 2005-06-21 05:05:28 0000 in portage now. The old adm8211-20050323 version is marked stable on x86, please include it on the livecd. genstef@gentoo.org 2005-06-21 05:07:14 0000 fixed weaver@gentoo.org 2005-06-21 09:33:43 0000 Works for me on amd64, please add keyword genstef@gentoo.org 2005-06-21 09:55:22 0000 please open a separate bugreport for amd64 weaver@gentoo.org 2005-06-21 10:01:06 0000 Bug 96714 61375 2005-06-17 02:51 0000 adm8211-20050323.ebuild adm8211-20050323.ebuild text/plain IyBDb3B5cmlnaHQgMTk5OS0yMDA1IEdlbnRvbyBGb3VuZGF0aW9uCiMgRGlzdHJpYnV0ZWQgdW5k ZXIgdGhlIHRlcm1zIG9mIHRoZSBHTlUgR2VuZXJhbCBQdWJsaWMgTGljZW5zZSB2MgojICRIZWFk ZXI6ICQKCmluaGVyaXQgbGludXgtbW9kCgpTPSR7V09SS0RJUn0vJHtQTn0KCkRFU0NSSVBUSU9O PSJJRUVFIDgwMi4xMSB3aXJlbGVzcyBMQU4gZHJpdmVyIGZvciBhZG04MjExIGJhc2VkIGNhcmRz IgpIT01FUEFHRT0iaHR0cDovL2FsdW1pbnVtLnNvdXJtaWxrLm5ldC9hZG04MjExLyIKU1JDX1VS ST0iaHR0cDovL2FsdW1pbnVtLnNvdXJtaWxrLm5ldC9hZG04MjExLyR7UH0udGFyLmJ6MiIKCkxJ Q0VOU0U9IkdQTC0yIgpTTE9UPSIwIgpLRVlXT1JEUz0ifng4NiIKCklVU0U9IiIKUkRFUEVORD0i bmV0LXdpcmVsZXNzL3dpcmVsZXNzLXRvb2xzIgoKQlVJTERfVEFSR0VUUz0iYWxsIgoKTU9EVUxF X05BTUVTPSJhZG04MjExKG5ldC93aXJlbGVzczopIgoKQ09ORklHX0NIRUNLPSJORVRfUkFESU8g Q1JZUFRPX0FSQzQiCkVSUk9SX05FVF9SQURJTz0iJHtQfSByZXF1aXJlcyBzdXBwb3J0IGZvciBX aXJlbGVzcyBMQU4gZHJpdmVycyAobm9uLWhhbXJhZGlvKSAmIFdpcmVsZXNzIEV4dGVuc2lvbnMg KENPTkZJR19ORVRfUkFESU8pLiIKRVJST1JfQ1JZUFRPX0FSQzQ9IiR7UH0gcmVxdWlyZXMgc3Vw cG9ydCBmb3IgQVJDNCBjaXBoZXIgYWxnb3JpdGhtIChDT05GSUdfQ1JZUFRPX0FSQzQpLiIKCnBr Z19zZXR1cCgpIHsKCWxpbnV4LW1vZF9wa2dfc2V0dXAKCglpZiBrZXJuZWxfaXMgbHQgMiA2IDk7 IHRoZW4KCQllZXJyb3IgIiR7UH0gcmVxdWlyZXMgbGludXgtMi42Ljkgb3IgbGF0ZXIuIgoJCWRp ZSAiJHtQfSByZXF1aXJlcyBsaW51eC0yLjYuOSBvciBsYXRlciIKCWZpCgoJQlVJTERfUEFSQU1T PSJLRElSPSR7S1ZfRElSfSIKfQoKc3JjX3VucGFjaygpIHsKCXVucGFjayAke0F9CgoJY29udmVy dF90b19tICR7U30vTWFrZWZpbGUKfQoKc3JjX2luc3RhbGwoKSB7CglsaW51eC1tb2Rfc3JjX2lu c3RhbGwKCglkb2RvYyBDaGFuZ2Vsb2cgTk9URVMgVE9ETwp9Cg==
