Description Roland Stadtmueller 2008-05-10 11:22:18 UTC 
Atheros wireless drivers do not compile any more (probably due to eclass changes). Newer drivers won't work either (see #205116).
Fix: - give an error if the kernel is newer then 2.6.23
     - if 2.6.23 or before, apply ARCH-Patch to package and go ahead.
     OR
     - hard-mask madwifi for now.


Remark: sounds like a dup to #205116, but that bug talks about future madwifi releases that won't help for my production system(s) today.
Br,
  Roland
