When I tried to merge madwifi-driver on my just-installed system running 2.6, it violated the sandbox. It had three of the following lines: open_wr: /lib/modules/2.6.0-test10-mm1/build/vmlinux.mod.c It was calling scripts/modpost vmlinux [one of its own files]. I'm not sure what this script does, but it was trying to create vmlinux.mod.c, which violated sandbox. If I first ran modpost vmlinux by hand, it would create this file, and then I could merge madwifi-driver. I haven't tested to see if this problem exists with 2.4 kernels.

Is there any way that you could write a patch to the makefile to fix this behavior? I'll try and get to it in the near future but don't have a 2.6 box running. 2.4 kernels merge fine. - Steve
Created attachment 22445 [details] 2.6.0 test ebuild This should fix at least some of the problems you guys are having but it is not tested on a 2.6 system yet so I cannot promise anything. Check it out and let me know if it helps. If it works for you, I'll commit it. - Steve

i'm no developer, but should the following part if [[ "${KV}" -gt "2.4" ]] ; then cd /usr/src/linux ./scripts/modpost ./vmlinux fi be done before compilation instead inside pkg_postinst()?
Created attachment 22447 [details] second attempt... you're right, I misread the report and probably fixed my type error in the comparison, try this one .... -steve
it now compiles and iwlist scan shows results... so kill this bug! :) thanks.
btw. i'm using kernel 2.6.0 release by now, no test version or stuff.
squashed as of madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20031213-r1.ebuild
