Hey everyone!

System:
Processor - Pentium M 1.7 (Working)
Memory - 1GB (Working)
Video - Radeon Mobility (Still testing)
Sound - i8x0 (Working with minor issues)
PCMCIA - Yenta ( Having Problems but not related to this problem. )
DVD/CDRW - Not tested yet

Ran into a problem emerging wavemon while I was trying to get my wireless working. I was following a howto posted here and here. As well as other places such as this one. Iknow there are more here in the forums that are the same and similar models to my laptop. Yet I can't get my wireless working. I have searched the forums and haven't found anything different than what is in the howto's on gentoo wiki.

Anyway, here is the error output I recieve when attempting an emerge.

If I am going about this all wrong then please let me know. I have been going at this for 4 days now.

Can you post your emerge --info ? Usually, if there is a compile failure that is not your fault, it is best to file a bug report, but for now, see what you can get from the forums.

Here is the emerge info.

So what you are saying is that I can't get my wireless working right now?

Well, I am not saying that you can't get your wireless working right now. I just don't have a solution to the problem, as your system does not look in any way majorly broken according to your emerge --info...I'd file a bug if no one else reponds.

euphorium · Post by **euphorium** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 3:37 pm

Got ya! Well thanks anyway. I appreciate the time you donated to my problem.
If I come up with anything or a work around. I will post it.

I'm having the same problems, but with gentoo-sources 2.6.20 instead of 2.6.19.

My guess is that the stable version of wavemon isn't compatible with some update that kernel maintainers have done in the conf.c file (the file where wavemon is brabbling about). The current latest unstable version in portage (net-wireless/wavemon-0.4.0b-r2) however does succesfully merge.

So for now you can solve this problem by using this command:

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -av wavemon
