Bug 190718 – net-wireless/rt61 removal request (broken since 2.6.22)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joel 2007-08-29 23:24:14 UTC]

Although the change made in the ebuild was necessary, the compilation fails. It seems that something has changed in this kernel.

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 129583 [details]
Output for the compilation and emerge --info

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-08-30 06:40:29 UTC]

Use net-wireless/rt2x00 instead. And please set your locales to C when reporting bugs.

[Comment 3 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2007-08-30 07:05:44 UTC]

yes, please provide a patch or just use rt2x00

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-01-27 15:16:23 UTC]

Please remove this, included in 2.6.24 kernels and broken.

There is a new version available v1.1.2.0, dispite the fact that it's in the kernel...

That's a completely different ebuild.

[Comment 7 Ferenc Sandor 2008-04-17 21:02:57 UTC]

Confirmed:
does not compile (kernel changed, and supports rt2x00 and rt61 but with only up to the channel 10 (not 13 as rt61 or rt2500 (ebuild)).
To fix, download the daily snapshot, it will work.
And do a snapshot for the emerge-tree too :) 
Thx
