it looks to be a problem with the best_version item in the ebuild
is this a new portage feature? if so is it in the masked ver only?

I am having this annoying problem too..... is there any way to fix this manually?
Thanx

it is "sed" 
 
in other words: 
s:sed:/bin/sed: ;-) 
 
after adding the full path to sed it worked :-)

i've talked to carpaski, and apparently using bash outside of the src_compile, etc sections is a no-no. i'll have a fix for this by the end of the weekend once i make up some patches, until then, add the full path to sed as suggested. (the reason for this is a move to get all drivers which compile against pcmcia-cs to compile against whatever version of  pcmcia-cs is installed)

okay. commited a new format for linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r1.ebuild. please test, as this uses a much more intelligent method for pcmcia-cs version picking, without doing pesky bash stuff in the PCMCIA_VERSION variable definition.

As nobody has complained, and the new setup seems nicer, marking closed.
