recompiled? generally you don't need to "recompile" packages. > Soz, forgot to say that the wpa_supplicant is now 0.3.9 and I have tried > going back to 0.3.8, but both do not work.

Funnily, I couldn't get the download from the web to work but the gentoo emerge worked, thanks gentoo!! lspci for me shows: $ lspci 0000:00:08.0 Network controller: RaLink Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card (rev 01) $ lspci -n 0000:00:08.0 Class 0280: 1814:0201 (rev 01) > > Because I have just updated the wpa_supplicant and now my wireless card > > is not working but found out that baselayout, ndiswrapper and > > wpa_supplicant are all saying that they need to be re-compiled, but > > everytime that I re-emerge them > > emerge wpa_supplicant, it still says that it is needs to be > > re-compiled. It might be helpful if you supply the exact command you're trying to use, and a sample of the output. It may be that you should be doing something slightly different. Everything will say it needs to be recompiled if you say `emerge -p <package>` however, what you probably want to do is `emerge -up <package>` This tells you there is a new version available. Provided you've done `emerge --sync` even better would be `emerge -upD world` followed by a `revdep-rebuild` if kernel / gcc / major things like that have changed. > > I am not able to sort out the problem until next week, but thought that > > I would ask so that I have a few things to check out once I am back > > online. Sorry if you know all this already, I'm kinda guessing as to what you're trying to do. HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
