Description Raul Fajardo 2007-07-14 12:41:09 UTC
Emerging i33380211 package doesn't work and deliever an error regarding the ieee80211_crypt_wep.o. I suppose the answer could be the patch: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/21/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt_wep.c

All required kernel options are already setted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge ieee80211
2.
3.

Actual Results:

Old like hell, try w/ 1.2.17 please.
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-14 12:52:25 UTC
Plus why do you need this anyway? >=ipw3945-1.2.0 doesn't need this, and rt2x00-2.0.0_beta3 is abandoned and broken.

This should be removed.

Hi Jakub,

sorry for the time but I proofed some things and didn't have the time to do it everyday. Well, the ieee80211-1.2.17 could be compiled, but I had to run those two other scripts, which delete the ieee80211 stuff from the kernel source. The ipw3945-1.2.0 doesn't even accept the ebuild modules. It request that ieee80211 be compiled into the kernel. 

To compile the kernel with it after having emerged the ieee80211 ebuild you have to reemerge the sources. For every requested ieee80211 crypt module you also need to have the option: CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y

After this you can emerge ipw3945 without problems. Thanks. I hope it's ok to publish this here.

Erm, guess that was a bit stupid.

According to bug 271587 it's is still broken. Could someone have a look at it? Re-assigning since the assignee retired.
