Using ->open() and friends should work perfectly fine for drivers not yet converted to netdev_ops. The code protected by COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS provides this, and we force that Kconfig option to always be on. I don't want to add this patch and just shrug off this build failure. If this build failures, we should be seeing 200 other drivers not build too. I suspect something is messed up with this person's kernel config or similar. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
