Bug 60791 – Cleaning up net-wireless/ipw2100

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-08-18 09:48:57 UTC]

According to http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net the ipw2100 driver (and perhaps the ipw2200 as well?) depend on wireless-tools-27_pre23.

I've had a quite unstable driver experience using wireless-tools-26 which seems to have disappeared after an upgrade to wireless-tools-27_pre23.

I suggest adding an (R)DEPEND=">=net-wireless/wireless-tools-27_pre23" to the ebuild.

Patch for ipw2100-0.52.ebuild -> ipw2100-0.53.ebuild

Attached patch adds an RDEPEND on >=net-wireless/wireless-tools-27_pre23 along
with a version bump to 0.53.

The dependency on >=net-wireless/wireless-tools-27_pre23 is also mentioned in
the ipw2100 FAQ (http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/faq.php#qa_2_3).

An IRQ related problem has surfaced in the 0.53 version of ipw2100. A patch has been provided on the [e-mail] mailing list.

I've updated the diff to apply this patch.

Ooops. Fixed the whitespace in the previous patch.

Correct patch to fix the shared IRQ issue

A new version of the fix for shared interrupts has been released. A new ebuild
will be attached shortly.

Patch for ipw2100-0.52.ebuild -> ipw2100-0.53.ebuild

This new version of ipw2100-053.ebuild applies the corrected patch to fix the
shared IRQ issue, enables WPA for the ipw2100 driver, installs the modules
using 'emake install' instead of just copying the files and fixes a small typo.

[Comment 9 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-08-31 01:17:39 UTC]

Changed summary to reflect the actual changes to the ebuild.

Patch for ipw2100-0.52.ebuild -> ipw2100-0.54.ebuild

Version 0.54 of the ipw2100 driver has just been released - I've updated the
patch for the ebuild.

[Comment 11 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-01 15:36:44 UTC]

I've added net-wireless/ipw2100-0.54 to portage including the fixes mentioned above. Closing as FIXED.
