[Bugme-new] [Bug 4148] New: prism54 wireless driver depends on directory name

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4148

           Summary: prism54 wireless driver depends on directory name
    Kernel Version: 2.6.11-rc2 and 2.6.10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
             Owner: jgarzik at pobox.com
         Submitter: schiotz at fysik.dtu.dk


Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment:  Intel Pentium 4
Software Environment:
  GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release.  
  gcc (GCC) 3.3.5  (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)
Problem Description:

Apparently, the wireless prism54 driver somehow depends on the directory name of
the kernel tree.  If I go to the kernel source directory using the real name of
the directory, and compile the kernel, and then return to the same directory
using the /usr/src/linux softlink, then the prism54 driver is recompiled.
