Hi Roman, as I can see you are running ~amd64, should I add it to the keywords of mac80211 as well?

iwlwifi-0.0.18 is out, ebuild needs work for that. Would it be possible to enable the promiscious mode with this?

I attached an ebuild for 0.0.18. It assumes that you are trying to build against a kernel which already includes the mac80211 wlan stack (i.e. you will no longer need the gentoo package and it won't work with it either).

Personally I tried with mm-sources-2.6.21-r2 and it worked well (at least ebuild-wise). Wasn't able to get it working itself though, but I think the ebuild itself is ok.
And btw, I don't think that running `make` in src_unpack like in the previously posted ebuilds is ok...
