Description Manfred Knick 2007-09-28 16:20:58 UTC 
This problem applies for all current ebuilds up to version ~1.2.18 in combination with the current default kernel which is 2.6.22 (-r8) .

emerge net-wireless/ieee80211 checks for CONFIG_NET_RADIO which does not exist in 2.6.22 anymore; it was replaced by CONFIG_WLAN_80211.

In consequence, CONFIG_CHECK must (partly) become dependant upon the kernel version.
For kernels >= 2.6.22,
--> CONFIG_CHECK="NET_RADIO ..."
should be replaced by
--> CONFIG_CHECK="WLAN_80211 ...",
I assume.

-->  185618  ::  net-wireless/rt2570

More Bugs to be expected:
-->  cd /usr/portage/net-wireless/  ;  grep -R "NET_RADIO" *

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, I fear it should rather read 

--> CONFIG_CHECK="WIRELESS_EXT ..."
