[gentoo-user] Problem updating madwifi-ng.

[Christopher Granade]

I have madwifi-ng installed and working, but portage tells me that there
are updates available. Upon trying to emerge these updates, I get the
following during compiling:

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r7/Module.symvers
           is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

  CC [M]
/var/tmp/portage/madwifi-ng-0.9.2/work/madwifi-0.9.2/ath/ah_osdep.o
/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: No such file or directory

The compile bombs and blocks the entire portage --update --deep world
process. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You already did send this ones. Did you not receive it the first time or why 
are you creating duplicate thread?

Anyhow, you really should provide more information than the above. Saying that 
the compile bombs out is just vague and useless. Show us the errors 
instead...

Nonetheless, what is the output of: 

# equery check sys-apps/module-init-tools

?
