As a consequence the updates/ directory also have a similar structure now. Upon install we'll be sure to remove the old directories if present for now. > Also, I cannot compile it against current wireless-2.6/everything > compiled outside the source tree: > > /home/proski/src/compat-wireless-2.6/drivers/iwlwifi/iwl-3945-rs.c:40:40: error: ../mac80211/ieee80211_rate.h: No such file or directory I ran into to this but I had fixed it in compat.diff. Anyway, this won't be necessary anymore as the directories match the kernel's now. > After some hack to make it compile, I still get: > > CC [M] /home/proski/src/compat-wireless-2.6/mac80211/ieee80211.o > /home/proski/src/compat-wireless-2.6/mac80211/ieee80211.c:24:6: warning: > "LINUX_VERSION_CODE" is not defined > /home/proski/src/compat-wireless-2.6/mac80211/ieee80211.c:24:28: > warning: "KERNEL_VERSION" is not defined > /home/proski/src/compat-wireless-2.6/mac80211/ieee80211.c:24:42: error: > missing binary operator before token "(" I'm not sure what happened here as <linux/version.h> should have been included in mac80211.h. Anyway, to be sure we won't run into these I've added <net/compat.h> to <net/cfg80211.h> which much of the wireless subsystem uses. Please give this new release a try: http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 I've also started documenting this online: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/download Note: This link will be gone soon and replaced with: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download I need 2.6.23 testers (hint Fedora people).
