I have a driver for a wifi usb device that I need to compile because
there are no drivers in the kernel, which has been obtained from the
vendor of the device. When I attempt to compile the code the compile
fails on the grounds that some warnings are being translated into
errors. From my perspective these errors should not be happening
because, when a debugging module wants to time stamp the build, that is
not an error and is perfectly acceptable. How do I get the compiler to
stop producing these errors. The messages I get are listed below.
