Chad, |

Thanks. I thought about modifying the pcmcia-cs ebuild after posting as |
| 4 |
a possible fix. The thing with this is that wlan-ng also builds the PCI |
| 5 |
wireless drivers, etc. Maybe I can include it in the PCMCIA ebuild, but |
| 6 |
only have it configure the pcmcia driver, and then have a wlan-ng ebuild |
| 7 |
that builds everything BUT the PCMCIA driver which should also remove |
| 8 |
the need for the PCMCIA source..... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Or create a pcmcia-cd-source ebuild....I'll play with it a bit...... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Thanks, |
| 13 |

Does the linux-wlan-ng stuff conflict with any other pcmcia-cs modules? |
| 37 |
If not, then just modify the pcmcia-cs ebuild to install the wlan |
| 38 |
stuff too. |

I see nothing wrong with creating a pcmcia-cs-source ebuild that copies |
| 48 |
the configured source to /usr/src after doing the configuration. |
| 49 |
Well, I guess the only issue would be where to draw the lines about |
| 50 |
which packages have a -source. |
