The "bogus" character is needed for 2.6.19 kernels, the patch is wrong... That may be the case, however for pre-2.6.19 kernels, this patch should be applied. I added the patch to the ebuild (slightly modified to work with portage dirs), and rebooted my laptop. The ESSID shows up normally, without the missing last character and without the bogus character while running 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 kernel. Created attachment 105088 [details]

Patch for ipw3945-1.1.3 for kernels < 2.6.19.
Fixed with the current (hardmasked) 1.1.3-r2 (due to the change to use in-kernel ieee80211 subsystem). |
