Hi, since the ipw2100 developers fixed a lot of bugs between 0.56-r1 (currently marked as stable in gentoo) and 1.0.2 I suggest to mark 1.0.2 as stable. I can't see any open bugs in gentoo bugzilla, which has something to do with 1.0.2. And I experienced some ipw2100 bugs with 0.56-r1 (repeated firmware loading at some conditions e.g.). Regards Georg Sauthoff Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Georg: Policy is a testing period of ~30 days.
The "repeated firmware loading" is actually needed for some configurations. There are lots of bug reports open for version newer than ipw2100-0.56 at the projects own bugzilla database, http://www.bughost.org. Marking a package - or a specific version of a package - stable does not rely solely on the "no bugs open at bugs.gentoo.org for the last ~30 days". It also relies on upstream bug reports and general stability of the package/version. Version 1.0.x will be marked stable when ready. Until then you are free to unmask it locally in /etc/portage/package.keywords. Closing this bug report as LATER.

I guess 0.56 doesn't get any new reports because .tar users test against latest versions, if there are any, to get the latest bugfixes. > Marking a package - or a specific version of a package - stable does not > rely solely on the "no bugs open at bugs.gentoo.org for the last ~30 days". Sure. > It also relies on upstream bug reports and general stability of the > package/version. Of course. BTW, I found 6 open bugs for 0.56 and 3 for 1.0.2 at http://www.bughost.org. > Version 1.0.x will be marked stable when ready. Until then you are free to Yes, when it is ready. Just a feedback: For my setup: 0.56 very unstable, 1.0.2 stable for 10 days (no standby problems etc.) > unmask it locally in /etc/portage/package.keywords. The intention of my bug report was saving other gentoo users trouble with the current 'stable' ipw2100 0.56 ebuild.
ipw2100-1.1.0 is x86.
Closing as FIXED.
