Hi!
I've compiled KDE 3.2 last night. Everything seems to be ok, but I can't find kwifimanager. |

Yes. I had to unmerge kwifimanager before installing KDE 3.2, because it blocked kdenetwork. Also, the KDE announcement says so. |

qpkg --list kdenetwork -nc | grep -i wif
/usr/kde/3.2/share/doc/HTML/en/kwifimanager
/usr/kde/3.2/share/doc/HTML/en/kwifimanager/common -> /usr/kde/3.2/share/doc/HTML/en/common

seems the docs are there but no executables. |

kdenetwork configure script uses a small program to test if wireless-tools exists. I had to change one include in my system:
| Code: | --- /usr/include/iwlib.h 2004-02-04 13:12:24.903801984 +0100
+++ /usr/include/iwlib.h_fix 2004-02-04 13:12:13.787491920 +0100
@@ -128,7 +128,7 @@
#include <linux/if.h> /* for IFNAMSIZ and co... */
/* Private copy of Wireless extensions */
-#include <wireless.h>
+#include <linux/wireless.h>
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
|
so that it would pass.
Then if you are using wireless-tools-27 implement this patch |

| The ebuild has been patched for this - should show up on the rsync mirrors soon. |

Cool. So we have to reemerge kdenetwork, right? |

Then try my patch on iwlib.h. It will make use of wireless.h from linux-headers. You can reverse the change aftrer kdenetwork builds.
Maybe wireless-tools package should actually copy its wireless.h to /usr/include... |

I really don't like to patch this, I'd prefer this issue being fixed. |

The ebuild for the wireless-tools 26 is broken. It doesn't copy iwlib.h into /usr/include. Unpack the wireless-tools package yourself and copy iwlib.h to /usr/include.
Re-emerge kdenetwork and voila...
Cheers,
André

Drago:
The 27 one seems to be broken differntly. As in, the ebuild works, but you'll have to use the patch above to make it work. And even then I had problems compiling kwireless afterwards.
Use 26. Its only a missing file - the easier problem to deal with 
Cheers,
André

The problem still exists with kde 3.2.1 and wireless-tools 27. First it says:
| Code: | checking if wireless tools >= 25 are installed... no
checking if wireless tools >= 27 are installed... yes
|
But then:
| Code: | You're missing the wireless tools libraries, or the wireless tools
header files. Without these, KWiFiManager and the kwireless applet
will not be compiled. You are unable to monitor wireless LAN
connections without these.
|
So what to patch/replace here?[/code] |

A re-emerge of wireless tools followed by an update to kdenetwork-3.2.3-r1 yesterday did the trick for me. Kwifimanager compiles
| Code: | checking if wireless tools >= 25 are installed... yes
checking if wireless tools >= 27 are installed... yes
checking if wireless tools >= 27pre19 are installed... yes
[snip]
checking if wifi should be compiled... yes
|
and works...  |
