Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-15 14:11:34 UTC
works on my system -- but i haven't tested the pcmcia part! I am using a usb stick.

Portage 2.0.51_rc1 (default-linux/x86/2004.2/gcc34/2.6, gcc-3.4.1, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0, 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 i686)
=================================================================
System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Duron(tm) processor
Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3
ccache version 2.3 [enabled]
Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4
Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1
Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1
Headers:  sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1
Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-all"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
COMPILER=""



some comments:
- upstream: "Rename the man pages to have a .1 extension". so i changed the 'use build' part in src_install to remove the doc afterwards.
- fetch tar.bz2 instead of tar.gz
- not need to remove sandbox and userpriv from FEATURES on kernel 2.6!!
- defined IUSE before inherit pcmcia

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-09 02:05:49 UTC
New version commited with most of the fixes in here along with some others.

PACKAGE IS MASKED.... you must unmask to test it. Masked because I don't have the hardware to test. Any mobile herd member got stuff to test it with and unmask?

Comment 5 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-09 02:54:23 UTC
I switched to ndiswrapper-0.11_rc1 because it supports my USB wlan module and linux-wlan-ng is really not ready for 2.6. It doesn't work reliable.

At some point WEP encryption was broken. I tried to reemerge it -- and the sandbox violation reappeared. From that point WEP worked only after i installed it manually.
Comment 6 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-09 07:20:05 UTC
linux-wlan-ng gave you a sandbox error? what's the error? what version? what kernel?

There was no ndiswrapper 0.11_rc1 ebuild, if a ndiswrapper ebuild gave you an error, file a separate bug.

> linux-wlan-ng gave you a sandbox error? what's the error? what version? what kernel?

Yes, kernel 2.6.8 (right now) (#46787).
It once worked that was the reason why i commited this bug report and removed the warning (which doesn't help if it's in pkg_postinst):
-	ewarn "Users emerging this with a 2.6 kernel still need to disable"
-	ewarn "sandbox and userpriv from FEATURES."

there was one in my overlay. 0.11_rc1 was the first version supporting my hardware.

no bug -- works great.
Comment 8 Sebastian Dröge 2004-10-10 03:20:30 UTC
Works for me without problems on ppc... just had to disable sandbox because of access violations as in all versions before with a 2.6 kernel
Comment 9 Skobel 2004-10-23 13:47:55 UTC
I have no problems with pre22 at all (can't say that for the other versions that are currently in portage as those don't support my card)... I'm using a DLink PCMCIA card so I can vouch for that working with the 2.6 kernel without any sandbox violation for me...
