As soon as Fedora 9 upgrades my Linux kernel to 2.6.27, I'll have a look at this non upward compatible problem. Stay tuned.

The swapping of asm/semaphore.h for linux/semaphore.h includes I believe is correct, but I'm stuck here: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.2' CC [M] /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/locks.o CC [M] /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial_io.o CC [M] /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial_ioctl.o CC [M] /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.o /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.c:119: warning: /initialization from incompatible pointer type /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.c: In function /'softserial_background_event_handler': /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.c:367: warning: ISO /C90 forbids mixed declarations and code /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.c:379: error: /'struct tty_ldisc' has no member named 'write_wakeup' /usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.c:384: error: /'struct tty_ldisc' has no member named 'write_wakeup' make[3]: *** [/usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv/softserial.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_module_/usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.2' make[1]: *** [536core_26] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/coredrv Looks like still more changes to the tty-related structures. Not sure if there's errors beyond those. Every time I change 2.6.x kernel versions all my out-of-tree networking modules break. :(

Update module source code to compile under linux-2.6.27.x kernels.
Changed 'semaphore.h' location to reflect new home in linux includes
instead of asm; continued on with tty operations (ops) changes;
minor source code formatting adjustments; removed 'modules.order'
file (build residue - not part of actual source).
See attached patch or pull it all from here:
git clone git://atr2.ath.cx/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0.git
