Description M. LaPlante 2006-02-27 18:23:31 UTC

The current wpa_supplicant ebuild supports the madwifi patch, yet to enable the patch one needs to build with 'madwifi' as a use variable.  Unfortunately, this variable is not listed with the rest of the use variables (http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml).  This makes it a bit confusing how to add madwifi support without searching through the w_s forum for awhile.

No, it isn't since it isn't a global flag. 

# euse -i madwifi
