Description haarp 2019-12-15 19:18:03 UTC
wavemon requires wireless extensions (wext, CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT) enabled in the kernel to work. See https://github.com/uoaerg/wavemon/issues/23#issuecomment-262271891

The ebuild should check that this kernel config is enabled, as it is not common anymore to enable wext, because the kernel's description says that only "old userspace" needs it. 

Thanks!
