Description Jens 2012-05-26 10:34:58 UTC 
The latest available package in portage is net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.4.4165.20110816.

This package fails to compile with latest stable Kernel sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.12 as there have been changes to kernel API

This is a severe breakage. There is no way (using standard system processes) to use more modern kernels together with madwifi-ng based wireless devices (which are MANY laptops).

So please provide updated ebuilds for madwifi-ng in portage tree.

Thanks.
