The hostap 0.0.2 (~x86) ebuild doesn't seem to build any kernel modules by default.

The quick fix is to define all required modules as per the second example above.

I've tried hostap-0.0.2-r1; The result of: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge hostap is: >>> Merging net-wireless/hostap-0.0.2-r1 to / --- /lib/ --- /lib/modules/ --- /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/ --- /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/ >>> /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/hostap.o >>> /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/hostap_crypt.o >>> /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/hostap_crypt_wep.o --- /usr/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ >>> /usr/share/doc/hostap-0.0.2-r1/ >>> /usr/share/doc/hostap-0.0.2-r1/FAQ.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/hostap-0.0.2-r1/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/hostap-0.0.2-r1/README.prism2.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/hostap-0.0.2-r1/ChangeLog.gz --- /usr/sbin/ >>> /usr/sbin/hostapd However; part of the output is * Building the folowing drivers: pci plx Therefore; I'd expect that the following should also be built: <<< obj /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/hostap_plx.o <<< obj /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/hostap_pci.o What do you think? (I'm still learning hostap specifics)
Sorry, completely forgot this bug... yes, you are right, according to the comments pci and plx drivers should be installed if you do not demand something specific. Fixed it for the new 0.0.3 version. Please try.
think this was dead
