Removing the CONFIG_CHECK is only part of the issue. rt2570-20070209 doesn't
build against kernel 2.6.22, but I created an ebuild for one of yesterday's
hourly tarballs and it built and works fine.

The check can be fixed something like this:

pkg_setup() {
        if kernel_is ge 2 6 22; then
                CONFIG_CHECK="WIRELESS_EXT ${CONFIG_CHECK}"
        else
                CONFIG_CHECK="NET_RADIO ${CONFIG_CHECK}"
        fi
        linux-mod_pkg_setup

As for the actual compile errors, please post them here and I will comment on
how to fix them. While adding a new snapshot to the tree would also work, we
need to get this fixed in the stable tree sooner than that, so patching would
probably be the best approach.

I'll be starting the 2.6.22 stable push in the next few days, would be nice to
see this fixed.

Hi,

I needed the driver for a Spharion Turbolink USB Adapter with an rt2570 chip. I
use the current gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r2 but the version 20070209 didn't
compiled at me. So I use the lastest cvs snapshot 2007080203 and everything
compiled fine with your ebuild fix.

regards
J0!nty.sL

Daniel, how long before this makes it to the tree please?

With ndiswrapper *and* this driver checking for CONFIG_NET_RADIO there's no
option for having wireless with the 2.6.22 kernel.

Mick 

The config check isn't the only issue - and this is an *unstable* driver - so
while its nice for it to work with a stable driver, sadly, that isn't the case.
 I had been working on a version that worked with 2.6.22 but when I was going
over my final checks before checking it into portage, when I attempted to
digest it, it was no longer available from upstream (the version I was using) 
I am working on getting a new version into the tree however.

config check thing fixed

Same here with gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8.  (Unfortunately, the
rt2570-1.1.0_beta2 also fails with a similar error.  If you think it's relevant
to this bug contact me off line for a copy of the emerge log).

Mick

Unfortunately, upstream isn't too concerned with the rt2570 driver any longer,
this should probably be tree-cleaned, or something.  They are focusing on the
rt2x00 driver being in the kernel itself...

removed from tree, wontfix
