Description Jiri Pittner 2007-02-06 22:59:24 UTC
* Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
 *   ipw3945-1.2.0 requires support for Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (CONFIG_IEEE80211).
 *   CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP:        is not set when it should be.
 *   CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP:        is not set when it should be.
 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
 * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
 * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging
 * this package again.

The ieee80211 coming from original gentoo kernel has been removed while
installing the ieee80211-1.2.16 package. Previously, ipw3945 needed this
package. Is it now mutually exclusive with ieee80211 ebuild and uses the
one from original kernel or is it a bug?


Reproducible: Always

Well, I should have read the changelogs of ipw3945 in a very detail,
however, should not then the package be marked in portage as incompatible
with the ieee80211 ebuild, and refuse to emerge when ieee80211 is installed,
just in order to prevent confusion of other users?

Set up your kernel properly.

I agree though, the ebuild should let people who haven't read over the change log know that there's a problem.  Adding !net-wireless/ieee80211 to the DEPEND list is probably a good idea.
