Hi list. |
2 |
|
3 |
Not often I issue a last rites, but here we go! |
4 |
rt2x00-beta3 driver is going to be masked over the next few days and |
5 |
then removed from portage around the end of January. |
6 |
|
7 |
This is at the request of upstream as they're mainly bored of fixing |
8 |
compile and useability errors in beta3 with new kernels and want to |
9 |
concentrate on beta4. |
10 |
|
11 |
To be fair, the rt2x00 project has never issued a stable driver and |
12 |
beta3 codebase is very old as shortly after its release they changed to |
13 |
the devicescape stack, which in turn isn't in the mainstream kernel |
14 |
either. |
15 |
|
16 |
I try to keep the rt2x00 cvs ebuild working with the latest 2.6 kernels |
17 |
we have in Gentoo, and you are encouraged to use that in it's place. |
18 |
Failing that, we also offer the rt2500 driver which I can personally |
19 |
vouch works, and other ratech drivers for your hardware. |

Thanks |
