Howdy, I am done installing gentoo now. I had to install Ubuntu on another partition and install gentoo one step at a time over a couple of weeks. iBook 366, and can't boot from CDRs.
I figured out how to tell emerge to build linux-wlan-ng against warnings with: export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~ppc' Then here is what happens: trix boot # emerge linux-wlan-ng Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23 to / >>> md5 files ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre20.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r3.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) ChangeLog >>> md5 files ;-) metadata.xml >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre20 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r3 >>> md5 files ;-) files/linux-wlan-2.6.10-fix.diff >>> md5 src_uri ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) linux-wlan-ng-gentoo-init.gz * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23.tar.bz2 to >>> /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work >>> Unpacking linux-wlan-ng-gentoo-init.gz to >>> /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work * Applying linux-wlan-2.6.10-fix.diff ...

Ubuntu has linux-wlan-ng in apt, and I actually used my Prism device to install gentoo on the other partition. Any help appreciated. I'm almost there!
