Re: [gentoo-amd64] Wireless Network adapter

["Andrew Long" <jandrewlong@gmail.com>]

I downloaded version 0.17 from the at76c503a.berlios.de site, and it
compiles and works properly.  I was hoping to use the ebuild, so that
it would be easier to update and recompile whenever I update the
kernel, but it works, and that's the important part.

Thanks for your help,
Andrew Long
