 |
|
| I newly can't emerge madwifi-driver, that being 0.1_pre20040906. I had no problems before, but for some reason I can't update. Has anyone else had this problem? |

It worked well for me, do you have any error code you'd like to share with us? Wich kernel are you using?
Remember CONFIG_MODVERSIONS should be set to n

Why the heck didn't I post my errors?  Sorry.
(Psst... what's CONFIG_MODVERSIONS?)

I'm using 2.6.8-rc2-love3, the same as last time I built the madwifi driver. And it's linked correctly, as you see in the merge.
Thanks in advance. |

This is CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in the menuconfig
| Code: | Loadable module support -->
[ ] Module versioning support (EXPERIMENTAL) |
I suspect this is the problem. This should not be enabled.
Anywho, if you still have problems after fixing this (or this wasn't the problem), just post again.

| No, I didn't have that enabled; what else could the problem be? |

Then, my last idea, the problem is with the 2.6.8* kernel; try patching it:

Sorry 
Postscript; you could try some evil hacking like FEATURES="-sandbox", but I don't recomend it.

Like I already said, I used the July driver with the same kernel, so I doubt the problem is there.
Should I try reporting a bug? |

You could try searching first and then report it OR:
You could try asking FreeNode @ #gentoo-laptop, there are some madwifi-driver maintainers there.
