If you check google there seem to be pages and pages of users reporting such a problem on different distros and with different makes of wireless cards. The jury's out as to what's causing this. Is it related to modern cards with low power management capabilities and how this may interact with the kernel, or is it something to do with the tolerance built into TTL packets between the card and the AP? With regards to my card I have noticed that at home I stay connected for hours on end, at work it's a miracle if I stay online for longer than 5 minutes (both on the same channel). This to me says that the problem is one of interaction with the router, which points to tolerance on the TTL packets. Of course YMMV ... Last time I had this problem I tracked it to a conflict between wpa_supplicant and the card driver. Basicly the card driver would send a request to assosiate with mac 00:00::00 each time a new card was found on the air and wpa_supplicatnt interpreted this as a request from the driver to drop the connection. The driver folks said that this request should be ignored and the wpa_supplicant folks said that this should not be ignored but instead was a disconnect request. Catch 22... Because of this I had to use wep instead of wpa(2) for along time. /Naga

From gentoo-dev Hi all, Just wanted to make you aware that xorg-server 1.1 (and all release candidates, including 1.0.99 and up) breaks the server-driver ABI from 1.0. This means drivers are not compatible following an upgrade of xorg-server, and both sides will require an update to work again properly. This also means that all binary drivers (nvidia, ati, etc) will be broken with xorg-server 1.1 and RC's until their upstream vendor provides a compatible update. Everything with the new ABI is currently masked, but when X.Org 7.1 is released, will come out of package.mask. We are working to ensure the dependencies work as smoothly as possible, but I expect there will be some issues since it's difficult to require updates to all these optional drivers following an update to the server.

Or does it mean I need to put the newest version number in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided even though that isn't what I have? From Harry Putnam's post: Portage will not attempt to update a package that is listed here unless another package explicitly requires a version that is newer than what has been listed.

If you run equery depends -a scons and read some of those ebuilds
you'll see something like this:

See the explanation of ${D} in the ebuild(5) manpage. That helps keep
you inside the sandbox.
Thanks for the tip. It led me to a way off getting the paths mention in
the error message (so I can prevent them...) but the DESTDIR=${D} only
seems to be valid for scons install and not just scons (ie the compile).
The problem now is that gtk-config and glib-config always returns the
1.x version and not the 2.x version I need.
Here's a hackish way I managed to put together,
---
# This is a hack to be able to dynamically determine which directories
# scons will try to create .scons* files in.
get_config() {
for lib in `grep ParseConfig('pkg-config SConstruct |
tr ' ' ' | cut -d -f 5- | tr ')' ' '`; do
echo `pkg-config --libs --cflags ${lib} | tr ' ' '\n' |
grep -E -- '-L|-I' | cut -c 3-`
done
}
addpredict_from_config() {
for i in $(get_config); do
echo addpredict ${i}
addpredict ${i}
done;
}
---
Any sugestions as to I might do this abit cleaner?
