This doesn't seem to be working. I followed the instructions to emerge -fp about 10 different packages, but I get this output: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.mirrored.ca/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/source/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://cudlug.cudenver.edu/pub/mirrors/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://gentoo.mirrored.ca/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/pub/Linux/distrib/gentoo/distfiles/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20041019.tar.bz2 http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/wpa_supplicant-0.2.7.tar.gz http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/wpa_supplicant-0.2.7.tar.gz http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-0.2.7.tar.gz Looking that over, only two different packages are mentioned and the madwifi-driver package is really out of date. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
