RE: Build fails on 2.6.16 Fedora kernel

Yeah, the build also fails on the 2.6.15/16 FC5 kernel. This has been
discussed on the linux-wlan-devel list, see
http://lists.linux-wlan.com/pipermail/linux-wlan-devel/2006-February/003557.
html for a patch that will resolve this problem. 


Regards,
David

Subject: [lwlan-user] Build fails on 2.6.16 Fedora kernel

Hi,

Build failed with:
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3 or current trunk
kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4
gcc-4.0.2-8.fc4

Extracts from logs follow.

-------------- Linux WLAN Configuration Script -------------

The default responses are correct for most users.

Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: n Build Prism2
PLX9052 based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [n]: n Build Prism2.5 native
PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [n]: n Build Prism2.5 USB (_usb) driver? (y/n) [n]:
y

Linux source directory [/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2069_FC4/build]: 
The kernel source tree is version 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4.
Kernel 2.5/2.6 support is highly experimental.
The current kernel build date is Tue Mar 28 12:19:10 2006.

Alternate target install root directory on host []:   
Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2069_FC4]: 
It looks like you have a System V init file setup.


Prefix for build host compiler? (rarely needed) []: 
Build for debugging (see doc/config.debug) (y/n) [n]: 

Configuration successful.  Now type 'make' and pray.
