The ebuild net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1 needs bumping to net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.9 so that version 0.2.9 is picked up from the ftp server. This version is needed for kernels 2.6.24+. I've tested this and its working fine, but needed to remove the patching line: epatch "${FILESDIR}/0.2.8-sk_buff-mac.patch" otherwise it fails to patch. Not sure if this is still needed but it compiles fine without it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

*** Bug 329945 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As explained in: http://wiki.debian.org/linux-wlan-ng All their drivers have replacements in kernel
What about linux-wlan-ng-utils ? I noticed today that package is masked because of the linux-wlan-ng-modules... Any replacement package for keygen and lwepgen ? :[
dropped
