Already running the portage one :)

Thanks for the bz2, after putting it in my distfiles all I had to do
was adjust the ebuild to accept my keyword (~amd64) and it didn't have
any trouble installing.

I'll see when the git cairo wants to install.
Now I have another weird problem, I use my wireless network card (an
Atheros AR5006EG or and AR5007EG, lspci isn't that accurate I heard)
with ndiswrapper and sometimes it works and connects right away and
sometimes it can't detect any networks. And at times it detects the
networks but it can't connect for some reason.

Does anyone has an hint on that? Or anything else that helps, since
this is quite annoying
