Description Gian Luca Dalla Torre 2007-05-13 14:59:10 UTC
When trying to emerge ipw3945 driver with gentoo-sources-2.6.21 the ebuild states that this kernel is using the patched version of 802.11 bundled with gentoo-portage.
The 802.11 package was, obviously, not installed, but the check into ebuild fails.

Using stable gentoo-sources (2.6.20-r8) evertything goes fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge (with symlink USE) gentoo-sources-2.6.21
2. emerge ipw3945


Actual Results:  
Impossible to emerge ipw3945 due to the net-wireless/802.11 check

Expected Results:  
Emerge works and module is installed

Using stable gentoo-sources everything works.

I just tried to reproduce this w/ gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r1, but I can't seem to trigger the same response you got. It just went smooth right through ...

And the kernel source you installing w/ is surely configured and prepared for an external modules compilation (you should at least have run make prepare in /usr/src/linux) ?

I used 2.6.21-gentoo (not r1) nor I do not prepare the kernel.
I will try later and I will report

Works fine here (with gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r3 though):

emerge -vp gentoo-sources ipw3945

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
