Created attachment 347704 [details, diff] ndiswrapper-1.58-add_taint.patch This patch fixes this particular issue when used in conjunction with a modified ebuild that will be attached after this. I may play with this, and see if I can make it kernel version aware. If someone wants to beat me to the punch, that's cool, too. As long as it gets fixed, it matters not from whence the fix arose. The original patch is located here https://gist.github.com/shimarin/5493086 Created attachment 347706 [details] Ebuild to go with ndiswrapper-1.58-add_taint.patch This is the full ebuild with ndiswrapper-1.58-add_taint.patch included. I am going to experiment to see if I can make an ebuild that is kernel version sensitive. Any successes will be posted. Origin: https://gist.github.com/shimarin/5493086 (In reply to comment #2) > Created attachment 347706 [details] > Ebuild to go with ndiswrapper-1.58-add_taint.patch I tested this on a ~x86 box and it allows ndiswrapper to build with gcc 4.5.3-r1, kernel gentoo-sources-3.9.0. A Ralink driver loads successfully with `ndiswrapper -i /path/to/rt2870.inf` The USB wifi device is not fully functional: `ndiswrapper -l` shows the rt2870 driver but no device - but this may be a hardware error. This hardware also fails with the rt2800usb kernel support. Overlay with this patch is at https://github.com/thomasn/twixbox-overlay if anyone else wants to test. Thanks, Thomas Fixed in CVS. Couldn't use your patch though. For the next patch you post, please ensure that it also works on older versions. Also, please apply ebuild diffs instead of full ebuilds.
