hello i am actualy running madwifi net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.1443.20060207 with OpenHAL i'll post the ebuild and the patch i haven't tested the combinaison with amrr and onoe yet
oops i have forgoten to aply a patch
changed to later
i don't understand i can't compile it
if someone else want to try to make this ebuild instead of me,post here
I don't see what are you requesting in the first place. Kindly post some link and description.
so i will describe what is openHAL port to linux and the rationale behind it: Mawiwifi driver use a binary hal by default,wile this isn't a problem for some people it can be for others,gentoo is about choice and so it would be great if we are able to choose between the open-source and the proprietary versions OpenHal is a reverse engenered HAL for OpenBSD but it was ported to linux: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~jbicket/openhal/ There is also another native option but it doesn't work yet(beeing able to transmit data) http://ath-driver.org/
by the way the problem is the folowing: i unpack and then add the openhal directory and monify the Makefile.inc then: # ebuild madwifi-ng-0.1443.20060207.ebuild compile >>> checking ebuild checksums ;-) >>> checking auxfile checksums ;-) >>> checking miscfile checksums ;-) >>> checking madwifi-ng-r1443-20060207.tar.gz ;-) * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options: >>> Checking madwifi-ng-r1443-20060207.tar.gz's mtime... >>> WORKDIR is up-to-date, keeping... >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/madwifi-ng-0.1443.20060207/work/madwifi-ng-r1443-20 060207 ...

the doubble post was a bug from firefox
