Comment 1 ChazeFroy 2005-01-03 09:39:31 UTC
Current portage version does not compile at all on vanilla 2.6.10 kernel. This package fixes it and should be entered into portage immediately.
Comment 2 ChazeFroy 2005-01-06 07:50:46 UTC
Package compiles fine, and p80211.ko loads; but prism2_pci.ko does not load.


zoinks 2.6.10 # modprobe prism2_pci
FATAL: Error inserting prism2_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.10/linux-wlan-ng/prism2_pci.ko): No such device


dmesg:
prism2pci_init: prism2_pci.o: 0.2.1-pre23 Loaded
prism2pci_init: dev_info is: prism2_pci
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:02:02.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:1d.2

A Prism2.5 PCI device found, phymem:0xec000000, irq:11, mem:0xf8876000
prism2pci_init: prism2_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.

syslog shows same information as dmesg.

linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre25

Latest version of linux-wlan-ng, works with kernel-2.6.10 without patching the
kernel. Lot of USB-Bugfixes.
