Hello everybody! This is my first post to the mailing list. So please forgive me if i am doing something wrong...
I have a serious issue with portage because my hard disk (file system)
has been damaged. Now i am unable to detect wether the problem is
caused by portage or not.
However if i try to emerge net-wireless/ipw3945d i get the following error:
>>> Completed installing ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4
into /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4/image/
* QA Notice: Pre-stripped files found:

And nothing has been merged. ANY help on this would be appreciated, as i am
using my laptop quite often and wireless is a must have for me. I also
started a thread in the gentoo forums where more information about my system
and tries i have made to compensate the file system errors can be found. You
may want to have a look at it here:

Sadly no one could help me to resolve my issue until now. It would be great if
you guys could.
Thank you
Patrick
