Can you please try this ebuild and report?

It did not compile for me with 2.6.11-mm1

I tested this on 2.6.13-rc6:
http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rt2400/rt2400-1.2.2-b3.tar.gz

and will attach fixed ebuild. My test with current cvs snapshot resulted in a
kernel crash. I've filed upstream bugreport. But the ebuild should now work.

I saw that the ebuild requests 2.6 kernel. Why? I see some other wireless perrs
around when using 2.4.31. This I what I had to have in
rt2400-cvs-2005081613/Module/Makefile:

PATCHLEVEL := 4
KERNDIR := /usr/src/linux-2.4.31
MODDIR := /lib/modules/2.4.31/net

The PATCHLEVEL defined is .o or .ko kernel module object should be created. I
suggest you to improve the ebuild.
