Your choices are: 1) to find some one who still has the 2.6.22-r2 ebuild and the corrresponding sources and patches and create an overlay from them, then use that to emerge from. 2) find someone who still has the top level Makefile from 2.6.22-r2 who will send it to you. And hope that that is all you are missing. 3) Upgrade to a newer kernel. Presumably the latest stable that is compatible with your desired driver version. Realistically 3 is your only reasonable option. The downside is you will have to do a kernel configuration that is consistent with your existing configuration. You will want to read the kernel upgrade guide first. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml Remember that emerging a kernel source only installs the source files. Compiling the kernel is another step. You may already have a suitable kernel source emerged. eselect kernel list will show which are emerged as will ls -l /usr/src > > I also tried > emerge -s gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2-osmp > and a few other variations without finding any ebuilds. The osmp is a local identifying tag specified by the person that built your kernel. The smp probably means symetric multiprocessor.
