Bug 140427 – ipw2200-1.1.3 build fails

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Olson 2006-07-14 17:15:49 UTC]

I'm using gcc 4.1.0 and glibc 2.4 with kernel 2.6.16-r9.

emerge ipw2200-1.1.3 fails with this error:

Works for me. Could you please attach your .config ?

[Comment 3 David Olson 2006-07-15 10:10:59 UTC]

.config

I should note that this is an upgrade--I've been using the 1.1.2-r1 ebuild without problem.  Perhaps I should upgrade the kernel?

[Comment 4 David Olson 2006-07-15 11:13:32 UTC]

Kernel upgrade seems to work fine.  It emerged, and is running great.

[Comment 5 Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-07-15 13:10:17 UTC]

So you're issue is fixed then ?

ebuild patch 

In my case it was trying to look for ieee80211 kernel modules in a wrong place //lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko 
instead of
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko
this patch fixes the problem.

It's looking in the right place :) You can't use kernel-side ieee80211 and the ipw2200 from portage. Either use both from portage or use the kernel versions.
