at76c503 on sun ultra 10

Nick, Thanks for replying.  I downloaded the latest from cvs and tried 
to compile it but I get an error in the compile (at76c503.c:805: error: 
structure has no member named `desc').  I'm guessing that this may be a 
problem between the latest code and the kernel sources I am using, 
kernel-2.4.26-sparc.

Also, redefine of SET_NETDEV_DEV is a little disconcerting. 

I tried the 0.11 version which compiles fine but I still get wlan0:  no 
wireless extensions.

Thanks,
Charles
