madwifi round 2

Hi Folks;

I'm trying to start over with my madwifi install and in usual form it's giving me trouble. When I run emerge madwifi-ng things work well for a while but then I get /bin/sh: scripts/genksysms: No such file or directory. When I tried to install before it got past this point so perhaps there is a setting in the kernel I messed up since that's all I've modified prior to re-installing?

Thanks!

Did you enable wireless support in your kernel, and did you emerge the follwing?

I have wireless support in my kernel and I emerged wireless-tools without a hitch but when I emerge madwifi-ng it gives me the error I mentioned earlier. Since it got past this before I'm left kind of confused.

Can you post a full copy of the error message that it puts out, and the dmesg output if its apropriate.

Here is what I get when I run the emerge:

...

The only relevent data from dmesg would be:

...
