[Comment 1 James Lee 2005-11-09 11:04:37 UTC]

Same problem.  The only version of madwifi-driver in portage that works with
wpa_supplicant is the masked version, 0.1_pre20050809-r1.

This version should be un-masked and the current version, 0.1_pre20051031,
should be masked, as it requires a special tool to configure the interface which
isn't yet in portage.
