In summary and simple conclusion, yes you are wrong. So that makes 2 out of the 4 or 5 active Mobile herd devs who say you're wrong. brix is 100% correct. Let me give you an explaination.... "The firmware itself does not depend on wireless-tools for operation. DEPEND/RDEPEND/PDEPEND in ebuilds are not for what you might want to use along with the package in question - it is for technical dependencies such as libraries and utilities." There ya go. Explained. In fact, you actually explained the logical reason in your e-mail, surprised you didn't notice it. But I'll highlight it for you. acx100 and rt2500 contain drivers. prism54 is a driver. ipw2200 is a driver. They depend on wireless-tools. The firmware, which in 2 of these cases are in seperate packages, do not depend on wireless-tools. And for a last example which I just thought of... ndiswrapper acts the sameway. Considering the Windows drivers are more of a "firmware" and ndiswrapper is the driver. -- Doug Goldstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/
