Hi, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
the rt2x00 ebuild in portage is out-dated. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The rt2x00 project has migrated to git for quite a while. They now |
| 30 |
provide nightly tarballs for the part related to the rt2x00 modules |
| 31 |
(without which you have to import the entire git tree to build the drivers). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I've made an ebuild using this nightly tarball. You can find it attached. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I've been using it for over a week and it works. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I guess gentoo wireless guys are updating the official ebuild the same way. |
