Wireless stopped working after emerge --update world

[cmcheung]

Hello,

My wireless has been working fine until a few days ago when I did a "emerge --update world". I found a post in which someone had a similiar problem (located here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-381265.html) in which someone had said to " revert back to udev-058". The problem is, I'm a total noob so I don't know what it means to " revert back to udev-058".

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks!

If you want to mask udev-068-r1 then do this, however I think you may need to mask madwifi... (=net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20050809)

Code: Select all

echo "=sys-fs/udev-068-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge udev
