By doing emerge -C ipw2100 you have removed the ipw2100 package (so you |
| 20 |
no longer have it on your system). This also removes ipw2100 from |
| 21 |
/var/lib/portage/world |
| 22 |
Now when you run emerge -uDvp world it no longer includes ipw2100 (and |
| 23 |
dependencies of ipw2100, which ieee80211 is) in the list. If you want to |
| 24 |
use ipw2100 you will have to emerge it again (which will emerge |
| 25 |
ieee80211 as well). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Do an emerge -p ipw2100 (having unmerged it already, it shouldn't have |
| 28 |
the block on ieee80211). Then if all looks good emerge ipw2100 and |
| 29 |
hopefully you don't get any errors on compilation |
