This is independent of any ebuild file. It works even if the installed version doesn't have a corresponding ebuild anymore. You can try qlist package name to see which files belong to that package and qfile some fully qualified file name to see the package this file belongs to. Every thing is fully automatic. That's one of the biggest advantages of Gentoo in comparison to LFS. Helmut.

[gentoo-user] Wireless N PCMCIA/CardBus Recommendations...
After several years, I am not getting around to upgrading my wireless router - from a Linksys WRT54G to a Cisco Linksys E4200. While I am at it, I am also considering getting a new wireless card for my D600 laptop to at least augment the internal b43-legacy supported Broadcom 43xx card that generally works, but is also a pain to keep working. While it's easy to find a USB Wireless card, I'm not really interested in them - the form factor is generally prone to breaking and my D600 laptop only has two USB-ports (its main flaw), one of which I use for a USB mouse when its not in the docking station - when it is, I can't use either as they are both in the back and blocked by the docking station - so a USB wireless is kind of problematic as I would then have to take it out to dock the laptop (undesirable to say the least). So that leaves me with using one of the open PCMCIA card slots. I have two wired PCMCIA adapters, useful mostly for multi-network and diagnostics; so the slots are open. I'd like to keep the cost down - $50 USD or less; and am pretty open to different brands. However, I've found the lookups - at least linuxwireless.org - to be a little troublesome in identifying to actual cards, so I'm looking for some good recommendations. Thus far I've looked at: Cisco-Linksys WPC600N Cisco-Linksys WEC600N Cisco-Linksys WPC300N But I haven't been able to determine if they are supported under Linux. Open to other suggestions too - so long as PCMCIA compatible. Thanks, Ben

Hello Randd, Where did you get your sources/overlay/ebuild ? I have this cell phone (LTE 4G) on Verizon: Samsung SCH-I510 is powered with a 1GHz Hummingbird processor and runs on Android 2.2 Froyo OS Any information on building and uploading Gingerbread to this phone is of interest to me. Any details of your cross-compiling setup is of interest too. Thanks in Advance, James Hi James, I am not sure if you can upgrade your device's software yourself unless code is available (i dont think it is). You can check cyanogenmod website (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/) to check if your phone is supported or not. thanks, randd
