[gentoo-user] madwifi-ng upgrade installs wireless-tools; why?
Hi, All, Since upgrading madwifi-ng a few days ago, I have had massive problems with my wireless connection. I use wpa_supplicant to connect, but I've found that the madwifi-ng upgrade also installs wireless-tools, and the presence of wireless-tools interferes with my attempts to connect via wpa_supplicant. Here's what happens when I try to upgrade world: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~-- emerge -ptDuNv world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies... done! [nomerge ] net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.5.7 USE=dbus madwifi qt3 readline ssl -gnutls -gsm -qt4 [nomerge ] net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.3.1 USE=-injection [ebuild N] net-wireless/wireless-tools-28 USE=-multicall -nls 249 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 249 kB If wireless-tools is installed, I cannot connect to my wireless router. If I uninstall wireless-tools, everything works fine and I can connect. Why does emerge want to install wireless-tools? What can I do to prevent wireless-tools from being installed? Thanks for your help. John Blinka
