Description Jason Dusek 2008-01-28 22:53:40 UTC

Trying to figure out the distfiles for an old version of madwifi -- and it's old dependencies -- really sucks. On the LiveDVD, please include as many network driver packages as possible, along with their dependencies (for example, madwifi needs sharutils).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert LiveDVD.
2. `emerge madwifi-ng -f`

Actual Results:  
No files, and no way to get them on UMPCs.

Expected Results:  
Files would be present.

Had all the network drivers compiled into the kernel, and magically found my card at boot time.
