recompiled? generally you don't need to "recompile" packages. |

yup, I'm using the rt2500-1.1.0_beta3. Funnily, I couldn't get the |
| 18 |
download from the web to work but the gentoo emerge worked, thanks |

gentoo!! lspci for me shows: |

|
| 21 |
$ lspci |

It might be helpful if you supply the exact command you're trying to |
| 36 |
use, and a sample of the output. It may be that you should be doing |
| 37 |
something slightly different. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Everything will say it needs to be recompiled if you say |
| 40 |
`emerge -p <package>` |
| 41 |
however, what you probably want to do is |
| 42 |
`emerge -up <package>` |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
This tells you there is a new version available. Provided you've done |
| 45 |
`emerge --sync` |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
even better would be |
| 48 |
`emerge -upD world` |
| 49 |
followed by a |
| 50 |
`revdep-rebuild` |
| 51 |
if kernel / gcc / major things like that have changed. |

Sorry if you know all this already, I'm kinda guessing as to what you're |
| 58 |
trying to do. |
