Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I never did get Intel wireless networking working with 2.6.13.x. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I just tried with kernel 2.6.14, and I get compilation errors when I try |
| 6 |
to emerge |
| 7 |
ieee80211. It complained about lots of incompatible ieee80211 filles in |
| 8 |
the Linux kernel sources, but still failed when I removed the |
| 9 |
complained-about files |
| 10 |
by hand. The most recent error messages looked like this |
| 11 |
--------------------- |

| 56 |
-------------------- |
| 57 |
Are any versions of the Gentoo packages iee80211, ipw2100 and |
| 58 |
ipw2100-firmware |
| 59 |
expected to work with kernel 2.6.14? Or is a different approach |
| 60 |
required? It does |
| 61 |
seem odd to have to delete an ever-increasing list of vanilla kernel |
| 62 |
files that someone |
| 63 |
has worked to provide. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
I also tried building the ipw2100 without first building ieee80211, but |
| 66 |
that build failed |
| 67 |
like this. |
| 68 |
-------------------- |
| 69 |
Looks like you forgot to remerge net-wireless/ieee80211 after |
| 70 |
upgrading your kernel. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Hint: use sys-kernel/module-rebuild for keeping track of which |
| 73 |
modules needs to be remerged after a kernel upgrade. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
!!! ERROR: net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.2-r3 failed. |
| 76 |
-------------------- |
| 77 |
I obviously don't know what I'm doing, so any guidance would be welcome. |
| 78 |
Meanwhile, it's back to 2.6.12.6 for me. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
TIA, |
| 81 |
