Re: [gentoo-amd64] Wireless Network adapter

[Beso]

there is the at76c503 ebuild for the 0.17. you just have to unmask it in
/etc/package.keywords and then it compiles fine.
if you're not convinced try doing a ls -l
/usr/portage/net-wireless/at76c503a/ and see that there is the 0.17. if it's
not there just emerge --sync and update portage tree and have it installed.
it may have been added today cause i have synced before trying to install
it.
