That allows new mac80211 versions to run on older kernels. When you use that you need to grab the rt2x00 cvs tarball from: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads which allows rt2x00 to be compiled outside of the kernel. > In file included from drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:29: > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00.h:942: warning: `struct ieee80211_bss_conf' declared inside parameter list > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00.h:942: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want > > [...] > > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c: In function `rt2x00lib_configuration_scheduled': > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:484: error: storage size of `bss_conf' isn't known > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:494: error: `BSS_CHANGED_ERP_PREAMBLE' undeclared (first use in this function) > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:494: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:494: error: for each function it appears in.) > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:484: warning: unused variable `bss_conf' > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c: In function `rt2x00lib_beacondone_scheduled': > drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:511: warning: passing arg 2 of `ieee80211_beacon_get' makes integer from pointer without a cast Ivo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
