Cannot emerge net-wireless/ieee80211 against vanilla-sources-2.6.14 due to access violations. Have tried this with ieee80211-1.0.3-r2 (current stable version) and ieee80211-1.1.6 (latest version in portage). I don't want to/cannot use the in-kernel ipw2200 driver due to it's lack of WPA support.

Please, read the ebuild instructions before reporting bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 97397 ***
This bug is not a dup of 97397. If it was then I could just follow the instructions given (remove /usr/src/linux/include/net/ieee80211.h) and it would merge. This bug relates to kernel 2.6.14. Bug 97397 relates to kernel 2.6.13 - just like it says in the bug title. > Please, read the ebuild instructions before reporting bugs. Please look at the ebuild and show me where it says: > % sudo make check_old Those instructions come not from the ebuild, but from the package source.
Stop reopening this bug, I'm dead serious...
(In reply to comment #3) > Stop reopening this bug, I'm dead serious... Eh, sorry. Too many open tabs, I thought you've reopened Bug 97397.
I've added a work-around to net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.x. Basically, you need to run the following command before emerging the package: `/bin/sh /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old /usr/src/linux` Wait a few hours, `emerge --sync`, run the above command - and retry the merge.
*** Bug 112441 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is a problem, please reopen: 2.6.14 is stable on x86 but ieee80211 1.1 is not, so the current situation gives horrible errors. The new kernel should be marked unstable or ieee80211 1.1.x should become stable I guess? Oh yes: there is even more confusion with the new kernel containing the ieee80211 framework, what should users use? (perhaps this is a different bug)
I'd like to also suggest to either mark 2.6.14.2 unstable or to mark ieee80211 stable. I've done this by marking 2.6.14.2 unstable locally on my system: Put the following line to /etc/portage/package.mask to do the same... >=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.14
