Description Eric Olinger 2004-12-15 00:35:11 UTC

I wrote this ebuild as a replacement for the ebuild in bug #58483. It uses all of the linux-mod eclass facilities that I could use. RaLink changed the license to GPL as of version 1.4.4.0 and they've removed their gui configuration utility as of version 1.4.5.0.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Makefile-2.6.x

RaLink uses a completly different Makefile for building under the 2.6.x kernel.
It appears that they now ship the 1.4.5.0 with the 2.4 Makefile and don't
include the 2.6.x Makefile anymore I've included one that works from an older
release.

Can you please attach these to bug 58483?

some comments: 

- uppercase ebuild names are according to the ebuild policy not good. Please use MY_P= and MY_PN instead.
- set by inherit linux-mod: DEPEND="virtual/linux-sources"
- You can look at other linux-mod ebuilds in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74396
