Atheros Wired Connection Problem

[Fitzcarraldo]

Looks like the Pentoo ebuild is buggy. Have a look in the Pentoo repository on line:

http://code.google.com/p/pentoo/source/ ... ss%2Ffiles

There is no compat-wireless-3.6-grsec.patch file, but there is a compat-wireless-3.5-grsec.patch file. You could try copying that into /var/lib/pentoo/net-wireless/compat-wireless/files/ and renaming it to compat-wireless-3.6-grsec.patch file. While you're at it, have a look in the compat-wireless ebuild and see if any other patch files are mentioned. If there are, do the same thing, then download the compat-wireless tarball mentioned in the ebuild from the Web site mentioned in the ebuild to the directory /usr/portage/distfiles/. Then you'd probably need to disconnect your PC from the Internet and use the following command to generate a manifest file:

Code: Select all

ebuild --force compat-wireless-3.6_rc5.ebuild manifest

and then merge the package:

Code: Select all

emerge -1v compat-wireless

Thank you for your continuing support. I'll give that a shot either later tonight or tomorrow.

As you have added the pentoo overlay, you may as well first try merging the 3.5_rc3 ebuild to double check if your problem with 3.5_rc3 earlier was due to the ebuild or was because you had not added the pentoo overlay:

Code: Select all

emerge -1v =compat-wireless-3.5_rc3
