This issue is specific to neither suspend2-sources nor ipw2200. You hit the |
| 24 |
same issue with any other kernel if you emerge ieee80211. From the ieee80211 |
| 25 |
ebuild: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
eerror "Your kernel source contains an incompatible version of the" |
| 28 |
eerror "ieee80211 subsystem, which needs to be removed before" |
| 29 |
eerror "${P} can be installed. This can be accomplished by running:" |
| 30 |
eerror |
| 31 |
eerror " # /bin/sh ${FILESDIR}/remove-old ${KV_DIR}" |
| 32 |
if [ "${KV_DIR}" != "${KV_OUT_DIR}" ]; then |
| 33 |
eerror " # /bin/sh ${FILESDIR}/remove-old ${KV_OUT_DIR}" |
| 34 |
fi |
| 35 |
eerror |
| 36 |
eerror "Please note that this will make it impossible to use some of the" |
| 37 |
eerror "in-kernel IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN drivers (eg. orinoco)." |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
You ran the script and you were warned. The ieee80211 ebuild is depended upon |
| 40 |
by four external, wireless net drivers: ipw{2100,2200,3945} and rt2x00. |
