net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040514 fails to build. I get sandbox errors because the ebuild calls part of the kernel build process. It seems to vary at which file the build violates the sandbox, depending on how recently the kernel has been built. I was getting errors that scripts/fixdep in the kernel-(2.6) tree was creating a (temporary) file, but now the file is /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1/include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h.tmp, violating the sandbox for a write violation. I can help with the diagnosis of and solution to this problem. The errors are all similar to: make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/var/tmp/portage/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040514/w ork/wlan modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1' *** Warning: Overriding SUBDIRS on the command line can cause *** inconsistencies make[3]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

None problems with 2.6.7. PS. You have unterminated string in make.conf in line GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://192.168.0.1/
madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040906 and madwifi-tools-0.1_pre20040906 are both in the tree now. This should work for everybody. emerge rsync ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge madwifi-driver madwifi-tools Please test and CLOSE appropriate bugs if this solves the problem anybody was having.
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge madwifi-driver Once again... Test Request since it's been 4 months and we've worked on this situation extensively.
It works for me.
Reopening.
Closing as FIXED.
