A new nforce unified driver has been released by nvidia for some time. There are two very minor tweaks that need to be applied to the current nforce-net ebuild to be able to install the new version. I'll also be submitting a whole new ebuild for the nforce-audio driver that nvidia now ships with this new unified driver package. In any case ... here's the patch for nforce-net: first copy the existing to nforce-net-1.0.0256.ebuild, then apply the attatched patch.
Created attachment 11189 [details, diff] nforce-net upgrade patch
I'd say this could be closed, but it seems that the developer who committed the new ebuild (Daniel Ahlberg <aliz@gentoo.org>) hasn't seen this bug report. There's still a dodoc README line in the new nforce-net ebuild. I know it's not a big deal, but I like correctness and attention to detail -- there is no README file in the archive: # tar tvfz /usr/portage/distfiles/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0256.tar.gz | grep README # A simple dodoc ${S}/ReleaseNotes.html or dohtml or somesuch should take care of this.
Fixed on cvs. Thanks :)
