I want to install rfswitch because the hardware button to control the radio of my ipw2200 interface doesn't react under linux. but net-wireless/rfswitch-1.1 doesn't compile because some function or variable is undeclared; is there a header file missing?

Probably time to treeclean if 1.2 version neither works (I can try to bump it as it's x86 only)
Created attachment 329846 [details] rfswitch-1.3.ebuild Here is building capable ebuild of version 1.3 (latest from upstream) I tested building on ~amd64 system and Linux 3.5 No kind of runtime testing done -> I recommend removing this package from Portage because it's HW specific and needs a dedicated maintainer
For the reference, I just stole the existing &proc_root -> NULL code from here: http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-dev/2008-July/000940.html
Added 1.3 to Portage anyway (so it can be found in the CVS Attic for restoration at later date, maybe)
(In reply to comment #2) "HW specific" isn't a valid reason for removal. there are plenty of packages that are "HW specific" in the tree. like just about every single driver package.
Since rfswitch doesn't have any other opened bug report, if this one is fixed by bump, I guess we can keep it a bit more...
do whatever you want with the pkg, even unmask and close this as wontfix is fine by me
OK, unmasked now
