Description Josenivaldo Benito Junior 2005-09-15 06:22:36 UTC
The linux wlan-ng are drivers for some wireless cards and PCMCIA. This package
now have a release with many corrections and with compatibility with new kernels.

The ebuilds avaliable are pre-versions that have some problems with kernels 2.6.

Are try to compile new wlan-ng in gentoo on amd64 and it goes well. Please, we
need a new ebuild of linux-wlan-ng in new release version for X86 and AMD64.

Tanks.

Tanks.

I installed it in my AMD64 laptop using /etc/portage/package.keywords with the
lines:

net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng ~x86
net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules ~x86
net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-utils ~x86
net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-firmware ~x86

Works very well! I can use my Senao prism2 based PCMCIA again.

Tanks and best regards.
Benito.
ps: Who can put this in ~amd64 too?
