You don't have "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support" enabled in your .config? That's what I wanted to say in my comment: There's a name clash between two global `timer_event': The one you introduced, and the one in drivers/net/skfp/queue.c . I don't know whether `timer_event' is too generic for the use you introduced, but for the use in drivers/net/skfp/queue.c (which was already present) it seems too generic. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
