Steps to reproduce: 1. Merge ipw2100-1.1 2. Merge wpa_supplicant-0.4.1 3. Configure wpa_supplicant to use WPA-PSK 4. Start via /etc/init.d/<netscript> start 5. Kernel crashes (even without the modules listed in the attached panic message)
Created attachment 59802 [details] Kernel panic
Yes, a known issue with the development version of wpa_supplicant. See http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=678 for more information. Will be fixed in ipw2100-1.1.1.
ehmmm, maybe i'm wrong... but ~x86 ebuids should work... i can't understand why, even if it is know to be broken an ebuild is released as ~x86 and not (al least) masked. 0.40 does not work on ipw2100, 0.41 crashes kernel, maybe 0.42 will destroy the wifi card?
I think that you have to hard mask the wpa_supplicant-0.4.1. The patch in the ipw2100 bugzilla don't work(it doesn't crash with kernel panic, but don't work as expected).
0.4.0 works fine with ipw2100 here. 0.4.1 works with all other cards than ipw2100, and the reason it doesn't work with the ipw2100 lies within the ipw2100 driver. Are you suggesting I hard mask net-wireless/ipw2100?
I really don't know! I am not a gentoo developer, and I think that I don't like to emerge a thing that break things! I think that you have to hard mask something, but I don't know what and how!
