Hey do someone cares about this bug? I think it's pretty severe
It seems that realtek hasn't updated this driver for some time so now it doesn't compile on recent kernels... Someone should put an advice in the ebuild to make the user aware of this.
(In reply to comment #4) > It seems that realtek hasn't updated this driver for some time so now it > doesn't compile on recent kernels... Yeah, it's dead. Can you try the ebuild in here, please? http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/reviewed/net-wireless/rtl818x-svn
No it seems that the repository is offline: >>> Downloading 'http://father.lugmen.org.ar/~aryix/distfiles/rtl818x-svn-20070516.tar.gz' --15:02:03-- http://father.lugmen.org.ar/~aryix/distfiles/rtl818x-svn-20070516.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/rtl818x-svn-20070516.tar.gz' Risoluzione di father.lugmen.org.ar in corso... 200.110.134.3 Connessione a father.lugmen.org.ar|200.110.134.3:80... fallito: Connessione rifiutata. !!! Couldn't download 'rtl818x-svn-20070516.tar.gz'. Aborting. I obtained the source code via svn and installed the driver. It seems to recognize my card but for some reason wpa_supplicant outputs some error. I didn't tried wep or no encryption (even if "wep" and "no-encription" is aproximately the same thing). I would paste the errors but I don't think this is the right place to report bugs for ebuilds in sunrise.
also found http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/philantrop/browser/trunk/net-wireless/rtl-wifi that is the up to date svn version.
Wulf, your rtl-wifi currently checks for NET_RADIO, this is now WIRELESS_EXT in 2.6.22 and later.
or you could try a 2.6.23_rc1+ kernel: http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Mac80211
(In reply to comment #8) > Wulf, your rtl-wifi currently checks for NET_RADIO, this is now WIRELESS_EXT in > 2.6.22 and later. Thanks,Daniel! I've changed the ebuild accordingly.
(In reply to comment #9) > or you could try a 2.6.23_rc1+ kernel: > http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Mac80211 Yeah, about time to remove this ebuild.

(In reply to comment #12) > AFAIK 2.6.23_rc1+ kernel supports _ONLY_ managed mode :-( Irrelevant; this ebuild doesn't support anything ATM since it doesn't even compile w/ 2.6.20+ kernels and needs to die. Feature requests for the in-kernel driver don't belong here.
