# emerge -pv ndiswrapper
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "ndiswrapper" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.2 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
# emerge -pv wpa_supplicant

- net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.3.9-r1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.4 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.3-r1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.3.8-r1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

Looks like I don't have a choice with ndiswrapper - only
one ebuild (version 1.2, though the sourceforge site
shows only 1.4), so add that to /etc/portage/package.keywords.
[gripe]Why do the developers remove ALL stable ebuilds
of a platform when cleaning up? This seems to happen
frequently.[/gripe]
Four different choices for wpa_supplicant. Any advice
about which version to use?
Just a curiosity - why so long to mark any of these stable
(doesn't anybody use them on amd64? :) )?
Thanks. |

You have the choice of creating your own ebuild. And submitting it to bugzilla, if it's new.

Since they're all soft-masked, why not try the latest one first? |
