Description Josh Glover (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-12 08:13:33 UTC 
Trying to emerge net-wireless/hostap-driver-0.1.2-r1 on a kernel without CONFIG_NET_RADIO enabled yields the following:

Building the following drivers:  pci plx
Makefile:45: WARNING: Linux wireless extensions, CONFIG_NET_RADIO, not enabled in the kernel

The ebuild then proceeds and bombs out with the same error as Bug #50852 if emerged on a system running a 2.6 kernel, so I would expect that the ebuild might succeed against a 2.4 kernel, but then things would not work.

This is a little tricky, since the driver will most likely build against a kernel without CONFIG_NET_RADIO enabled, but then it will not work. In the interest of providing the user with sensible defaults and having the ebuild Just Work(TM), I would recommend that we make the absence of CONFIG_NET_RADIO a show-stopper.

hostap{-driver,-utils,d}-0.2.4 is now in portage. wpa-supplicant will follow after some more testing...
Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-14 09:32:44 UTC 
Argh. Sorry - wrong bug report.
Comment 3 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-10-28 03:29:14 UTC 
A check for CONFIG_NET_RADIO was added to net-wireless/hostap-driver-0.2.5.
Comment 4 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-27 08:51:49 UTC 
This is FIXED InCVS.
