[gentoo-user] can't make rt2570 module

[gentoo-user] can't make rt2570 module

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

I found a bug report for this but that involved a problem with the kernel config. In this case, portage doesn't seem to have a problem with that.

This is for a "NovaTech" usb-wifi gizmo. ID: 0eb0:9020

There's no such thing in recent kernels anymore.

In fact, rt2570 module in portage tree is outdated, so you can either
downgrade the kernel to use it or (much better approach) just update
ebuild to fetch newer sources from the project page.
