Please capitalize the first letter of DESC or (better) change it to something like this:

build.log when libnl:1.1 only installed

powertop does not build with libnl:1.1. Build.log attached

With libnl:3 it builds fine.

An ebuild for powertop-2.1

From what I can see, a developer used functions not in libnl-1, but forgot to update the configure script to only allow libnl-3. The code where these functions are used are not optional, so I've updated the build script to require >=libnl-3. Since this is an upstream bug, I'll also file a bug report with them concerning the configure file. The updated ebuild is attached, and confirmed to be working with both stable and latest unstable libnl-3.
