WTF?! This seems to me absurd. 90% of the > wireless cards out there are PCMCIA.
90% of the wireless cards out there don't need wlan-ng. For example, the prism2 PCMCIA cards are supported in the kernel but the prism2 USB ones are not. I suppose the moral is, never trust the defaults, especially as they are global, not per ebuild. If your computer has a PCMCIA slot, set the pcmcia USE flag in make.conf. -- Neil Bothwick You couldn't get a job as a firing squad target.
