After upgrading dev-libs/ell to version 0.33, net-wireless/iwd stopped working. Calling iwd directly resulted in: -------- ~ # /usr/libexec/iwd -d RC4 support not found The following options are missing in the kernel: CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4 -------- The requested options are all enabled in the kernel. Switching between Y and M made no difference. The code causing this message was a call to a dev-libs/ell function: l_cipher_is_supported(L_CIPHER_ARC4) After downgrading dev-libs/ell to version 0.32 iwd went back to normal operation. So either the new dev-libs/ell-0.33 is broken, or net-wireless/iwd has to adapt to some official changes in dev-libs/ell. However, if dev-libs/ell is not found, iwd uses a bundled version. A first step could be to change the dependency of net-wireless/iwd to <dev-libs/ell-0.33 Currently I am uncertain which upstream is to be informed about the issue, as I did not look deeper into the matter. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade dev-libs/ell to version 0.33 2. /etc/init.d/iwd restart 3. /etc/init.d/iwd status Actual Results: crashed Expected Results: started I have tried with net-wireless/iwd versions 1.7-r1, 1.8, 1.8-r1 and 1.8-r2 and switched between gold and bfd linker, including kernel rebuild and rebuilding ell and iwd plus their direct dependencies multiple times.
