I think we could use linux_chkconfig_present to check if the module is provided by the kernel we are compiling for .. the "providing" with portage is not very handy imo. Exactly how is that going to solve the dependency problem in hostapd and hostap-utils? support has been added into the linux-mod.eclass now for CHECK_CONFIG="@OPTION:module" what this does is, if OPTION in kernel is present, remove module from MODULE_NAMES. This will help you elleviate the issue where it will build and install kernel drivers, over a kernel which already supports this, while still building any other modules or tools in the ebuild. As I don't understand the setup of hostap properly, I wont comment on any other problems :) I've removed the dependency on hostap-driver from hostapd and hostap-utils. Closing as FIXED InCVS. Really closing this time :) |
