Have you tried doing that?
Comment 2 merwan kashouty 2004-01-24 07:23:02 UTC
well 3.2.5 will build against 2.6.1 to give the cardmgr program and thne i used the drivers in the kenrel iteself .... but the einfo for this ebuild isnt clear at all
Comment 3 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-06 20:33:47 UTC
I've just added a check in the 3.2.4 ebuild for 2.5 and 2.6 kernels so it dies and gives the user useful output with regards to what to do to get PCMCIA working with 2.6 kernels. i'm hoping to unmask 3.2.5-r1 this weekend anyway, but until then. (:

marking FIXED. reopen if there's more you need about this in particular.
