The current wpa_supplicant ebuild supports the madwifi patch, yet to enable the patch one needs to build with 'madwifi' as a use variable. Unfortunately, this variable is not listed with the rest of the use variables (http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml). This makes it a bit confusing how to add madwifi support without searching through the w_s forum for awhile.

No, it isn't since it isn't a global flag. # euse -i madwifi global use flags (searching: madwifi) ************************************************************ no matching entries found local use flags (searching: madwifi) ************************************************************ [- ] madwifi (net-wireless/hostapd): Add support for madwifi-driver (Atheros chipset) [- ] madwifi (net-wireless/wpa_supplicant): Add support for madwifi-driver (Atheros chipset)
