Bug 165155 – net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.0 does not compile against kernel 2.6.9

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Juan 2007-02-03 17:36:22 UTC]

It seems the new ebuild requires ieee80211 to be compiled into the kernel? I do not use the in-kernel ieee80211 because they have never worked for me. I use:

zeke dracco # emerge ieee80211 -pv
[ebuild   R   ] net-wireless/ieee80211-1.2.15  USE="-debug" 0 kB

zeke dracco # emerge ipw3945 -u

re-emerge of package net-wireless/ieee80211-1.2.15 did nothing. Still have a broken ipw3945-1.2.0 ebuild.

Maybe, fix your kernel configuration before filing bugs?

[Comment 3 Juan 2007-02-03 18:10:34 UTC]

Why? I don't use the in-kernel drivers for ieee80211... I use the ebuild.

Also, how is it that I should 'fix my kernel issues first' when the previous ipw3945 ebuild compiles just fine (that's how I'm posting this bug).

Are you suggesting that I must now use the in-kernel drivers?

Yes, for anything >=1.1.3-r1; see the fine Changelog.

I skipped 1.1.3-r1.. Never thought to look at older changelogs for tips. Sorry.
