wpa_supplicant-0.4.5.ebuild still has the madwifi use flag but doesn't compile. wpa_supplicant-0.4.6.ebuild does not have the use flag. Consequently the ebuild emerges successfully, but wpa_supplicant fails with - Dmadwifi.

Patch will follow in a few minutes. It lets the ebuild compile and run properly. Yet I'm not 100% sure about the fix (see comment to the patch). That's why I haven't posted the bug upstream too.

09 Nov 2005; Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@gentoo.org> wpa_supplicant-0.4.6.ebuild: Temporarily removed madwifi support until upstream can provide a working version, bug #110791.
Created attachment 72898 [details, diff] Patch against wpa_supplicant-0.4.6.ebuild The patch reintroduces the use flag madwifi. In addition it patches driver_madwifi.c
Created attachment 72899 [details, diff] patch against driver_madwifi.c The patch corrects an improper reference to constants defined in /usr/include/madwifi/net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h I'm not sure IEEE80211_IOCTL_GETCHANLIST is the right thing to use in the patch. Might just as well be IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETCHANLIST. I first thought it might be IEEE80211_IOC_CHANLIST but that didn't work. (I know this trial'n'error thingo isn't really *the* way to go...) By the way, I currently use madwifi-driver/0.1_pre20051111.
