 Use the ports; the package building is not active for this port:
 
 NO_PACKAGE=  "this is a modified version of a restricted firmware"
 
 This would resolve the problem, in case it doesn't come back to me
 and I will try to help you.
 
 Also note that this is a support question, not a PRoblem, please
 refer to the mailinglists the next time you encounter such a thing,
 you will be helped much quicker there.
