Cannot Install Broadcom-sta

Hi all,
I am still very new to Gentoo I just switched over from Ubuntu and I am attemting to get my wireless working. I have a Broadcom BCM4312 card, from poking around the forums it appears as if I need to install the broadcom-sta package (emerge broadcom-sta). When I attempt to run that command I get the error saying that dependencies are not met. To me it looks like there is a dependency on the same package that I am attempting to install (net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9.3-r1). What do I need to install to resolve this dependency. Thank you, Craig[/code]

mornindew,

To make sure you get it right, please post your current .config, the results of lspci -n, lsusb, and cat /proc/cpuinfo as well as your /etc/fstab file. I'll make sure your kernel is up to running the broadcom-sta.

While I'm at it, since you're going to use broadcom-sta, you will need to add the following to your /etc/make.conf file:

Is this a new feature ?

We didn't document that when we wrote the wiki for Gentoo-Quebec.
