All versions of linux-wlan-ng(-modules) don't compile with a current 2.6.17 kernel. Building modules, stage 2.

Perhaps someone could add it.
Removing block on 137175 as linux-wlan-ng-modules is not in the stable tree. Nevertheless please fix this when you can (I have tested the updated patch found later on in that thread).
Created attachment 93279 [details] The new ebuild
Created attachment 93280 [details, diff] And here the patch mentioned in the previous post.
Patch added. Sorry about this taking so long. The patch could only be applied when using 2.6.17 because it did not work with 2.6.16.
Today I compiled the modules with kernel 2.6.18 which resulted in an similar error with 0.2.3-r1. I did the following change in the 2.6.17.patch file from: + cp Modules.symvers ../prism2/driver to: + cp Module.symvers ../prism2/driver It did compile after that. I leave the bug resolved cause I don't know if it could be a fault on my side. Another thing I want to mention - it has nothing to do with this bug and it is no error but there are hundreds of warnings now - I guess thats because of gcc-4.1.1? e.g. /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.3-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3/src/include/wlan/p80211metastruct.h:162: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'p80211item_uint32_t'
