https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65881 --- Comment #4 from Kenn <kolson@xxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Hauke Mehrtens from comment #3) > Is it correct that you are using Suse Linux Enterprise Server?

This is the default kernel for SLES 11.3 and unfortunately is the kernel Novell uses for their production version of their current ZENworks Imaging product, for which I need an updated alx. They just recently changed kernels (happens roughly yearly), and this marks the first time I've had any major difficulty compiling an updated driver. It is true that I can open an SR with them and in time they will update the driver, but that can take weeks/months, whereas *usually* I can get it done in about half an hour. > Could you try the attached patch, it will probably not work completely with > that patch, but you should get a set forward. First off, I noted that on line 167 there was no closing parenthesis, so I put one in. Hopefully that's correct. Secondly, I got new errors, but fewer: make[5]: `conf' is up to date. # # configuration written to .config # Building backport-include/backport/autoconf.h ... done. make -C ../../../linux-3.0.76-0.11 O=/usr/src/linux-3.0.76-0.11-obj/i386/default/. modules CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/main.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.1.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.3.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.4.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.5.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/user_namespace.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.6.o CC [M] /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.7.o In file included from /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.7.c:13: /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/backport-include/linux/pci.h:103: error: redefinition of ‘pcie_capability_set_word’ /usr/src/linux-3.0.76-0.11/include/linux/pci.h:805: error: previous definition of ‘pcie_capability_set_word’ was here /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/backport-include/linux/pci.h:109: error: redefinition of ‘pcie_capability_set_dword’ /usr/src/linux-3.0.76-0.11/include/linux/pci.h:811: error: previous definition of ‘pcie_capability_set_dword’ was here /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/backport-include/linux/pci.h:115: error: redefinition of ‘pcie_capability_clear_word’ /usr/src/linux-3.0.76-0.11/include/linux/pci.h:817: error: previous definition of ‘pcie_capability_clear_word’ was here /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/backport-include/linux/pci.h:121: error: redefinition of ‘pcie_capability_clear_dword’ /usr/src/linux-3.0.76-0.11/include/linux/pci.h:823: error: previous definition of ‘pcie_capability_clear_dword’ was here /root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.7.c:49: error: conflicting types for ‘pci_pcie_type’ /usr/src/linux-3.0.76-0.11/include/linux/pci.h:1576: error: previous definition of ‘pci_pcie_type’ was here make[8]: *** [/root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat/compat-3.7.o] Error 1 make[7]: *** [/root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1/compat] Error 2 make[6]: *** [_module_/root/Documents/Downloads/backports-3.13-rc1-1] Error 2 make[5]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make: *** [default] Error 2 > When you click on "attachment" and then on View you get the patch.
