Description mccary 2003-03-09 09:18:58 UTC

wireless-tools uses version 14 of the wireless spec, as well as my 2.4.20-ppc-r2 
kernel, and the airport module. however, the latest /usr/include/asm and 
/usr/include/linux stuffs is populated by linux-headers-2.4.18. i had to manually 
copy the data into these directories and recompile wireless-tools to use my card. i 
see there is an ebuild for linux-headers-2.4.20. perhaps this should be unmasked?

Had the same version mismatch on my system, but the card worked.
With the written solution it works without any faults.

The linux-headers-2.4.20 is marked hppa only and -x86 -ppc...

the problem here isn't linux-headers but wireless-tools as these should be using
/usr/src/linux instead of /usr/include/linux.
the fix to wireless-tools is in the works. :)
