Re: kernel 2.6.12 - TX packets:0

I'm using Gentoo and I build my own kernel. I just tried with the
latest 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 and here's the output for the at76c503a make
and install process. I assume that modprobe -v at76c503-rfmd debug=1
turns on the debugging. I saw no error messages.

Don't know if the "warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type"
just below is significant.
