Description James Dominy 2005-09-23 01:24:40 UTC

Emerging ipw2200 doesn't pull through the required ieee80211 kernel modules
since they have been split into their own ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge ipw2200
3.

Actual Results:  
A series of warnings during the emerge are produces. Modprobing ipw2200 fails
due to unresolved symbols.

Expected Results:  
ipw2200 ebuild should have ieee80211 as a dependency

emerging ieee80211 manually, before ipw2200 seems to work

Then maybe have a look at the ebuild before filing a bug. Also note that you
need to re-emerge ieee80211 when upgrading your kernel.
