This is an ebuild which handles the installation of the Cisco Aironet utilities from the new version 2.1 package which Cisco released no too long ago. These utilities are required to authentication into a LEAP environment if using a kernel higher than 2.6.3 (AFAIK, the last kernel I got to work with the old v2.0 utilities was gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.3-r1). These drivers have been tested and work fine with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r8. Also, with this ebuild, I am proposing a name change of the package from "mpi350-driver" to "airo-utils". Mainly because we are reaching the point where (from what I have seen) very few people actually install the mpi350-driver package for the drivers, but rather just for the Cisco utilities for use in a LEAP environment. Also, the ACU is not installed in this package, due to its dependence on very specific package versions (see the ebuild for more details). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 34912 [details] sys-apps/airo-utils-2.1.ebuild Ebuild for the Cisco Aironet utilities v2.1.
Created attachment 34996 [details] New version: sys-apps/airo-utils-2.1.ebuild Fixes a couple of path problems with the old ebuild and cleans up the ebuild structure and logic a little bit to work better with the new Cisco distribution. I will try to see if there is a way to get the ACU working (most likely by introducing a USE flag, considering how much effort must be made to ensure only the correct libraries are used for it).
i think there should be a pcmcia USE flag added to this since for the mpi350 pcmcia isn't required, but sys-apps/pcmcia is currently a depend for this ebuild.
Well, the utilities themselves have no direct relevance to whether or not you have pcmcia installed - as they are just utilities, just like wireless-tools. I stripped out all of the old MFRH drivers and GUI utils, simply because they do not work, only the CLI stuff does, and that doesn't depend on pcmcia. The ebuild itself has no use flags associated with it, nor does it have dependencies, and because of these reasons, I don't see any reason why it should.
