Please try net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.2-r1.
I've did: /etc/init.d/modules stop lsmod removed all remaining modules with modprobe -r $ rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r) $ cd /usr/src/linux ; make modules_install $ unmasked net-wireless/ieee80211-1.0.3 (~x86 keyword) $ unmasked net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.2-r1 (~x86 keyword) $ emerge =net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.2-r1 $ /etc/init.d/modules start $ wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd and the error remains :(
I see you have already reported this upstream at http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=714 Next time, please avoid reporting the same bug two places as it doubles the work involved.
I'm really sorry about it, I thought it might be something gentoo-ish, and Hong (the bug owner on bughost) isn't replying very well. If someone has any idea, I'm still interested, next time I won't forget to reference the upstream bugreport.
