emerge of ndiswrapper fails with a 2.6.11.9 kernel patched with suspend2 (swsusp2) patches. the patched kernel is from brix's portage overlay where a suspend2-sources kernel is located. this may be related to the swsusp2 patch, i'm not certain. a patch to ndiswrapper is available here: http://www.eglug.org/node/1094 * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.11.9-suspend2 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking ndiswrapper-1.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/ndiswrapper-1.1-r1/work * Converting ndiswrapper-1.1/driver/Makefile to use M= instead of SUBDIRS=...

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge suspend2-sources 2. emerge ndiswrapper 3. Actual Results: error message shown above building ndiswrapper. Expected Results: ndiswrapper should build and install.
swsusp2 is not supported. Only official kernels from kernel.org and gentoo-sources are supported. This is a known issue which is why there are warnings about it in the build as well as the NDISWrapper website.
