on emerge madwifi-driver I get this:
| Code: |
var/tmp/portage/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019/work/ath/if_ath_pci.c: In function `ath_pci_resume':

Is there anyone that can help solving this? I've googled around all evening but couldn't get any thing but someone that thought..maybee it's the kernel version.
It looks though that the function, pci_restore_state has changed in later kernel versions.

make sure that you have everything required for madwifi in your kernel/modular support
http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/
"Before getting the source, please make sure your system meets the following requirements:
* WLAN interface that uses Atheros chipset (this, this or this list might help)
* a current kernel version of series 2.4 or 2.6
* wireless extensions version 14 or later (version 16 is preferred)
* target kernel needs to have sysctl support turned on
* crypto API support turned on with HMAC and MD5, if you want to use the 802.1x authenticator
* hotplugd, if you want to use a Cardbus card" |

WLAN interface that uses atheros ?? Well that's what I got and thats why I wrote this thread.
current kernel 2.6 ?? The thread is about using kernel 2.6.10-r6.
Wireless extension -- Do you mean...in the kernel configuration... Device drivers/Networking support/Networking options/802.1Q VLAN support?
The other points is ok.
But I don't think this solves the problem.
The kernel defiition of the functions "pci_restore_state" and "pci_save_state" uses only one parameter but in the madwifi function they are called with two parameters. And the compiler won't allow this.
There is som discrepancy between these sources. Maybe I should use another version of madwifi for instance the one dated 050106? But I can't get emerge to use it. It's masked and even if I put it in package.keywords - it won't take it. 
I've made it!
The ebuild was masked by '-*' but I read it as '_*' That's why it didn't take it.
The emerge then compiled and I then did:
modprobe ath0
iwconfig ath0 bla bla bla....
and finally dhcp ath0 -t 10 -h MyHost
And now connected ! TaaDaaaa! |
