madwifi

i'm trying to get an Enterasys wireless card working. Running kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r6.

All of the madwifi-driver packages seem to be masked

!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20050106 (masked by: -* keyword)
- net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20050107 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

I tried installing the linux drivers that came with the card. ath_hal seemed to go in ok, but ath_pci gave this error when trying to make it:

root@revenge ath # make

I'd be very gratefull for anyone would could give me some advise on how to get this card working.

Thanks

ps: I've had an older Orinoco Gold card working, so I know the slots are good.

If madwifi is the correct driver for the chipset on the card, why don't you just unmask it?

[awilisch]

I don't know much about masked packages, just what it mentions in the handbook. From what I was seeing it looked like they were masked cause they didn't work, so I was hesitant about unmasking them. But I'll try that and see where it goes.

thanks much

I have the same problem at the moment. I installed gentoo 2005.0 from cd.
I get the same error with x86 instead of ~x86. After making
