Hi there I just downloaded compat-wireless-old.tar.bz2 and then after extracting it I tried to build it by executing the 'make' command. I made sure that I had the kernel headers and kernel source installed before running 'make'. I downloaded and installed them with 'apt-get'. My machine is an ACER Travelmate 230 Laptop with the Operating System being 'Simply Mepis Linux version 7.0' with kernel version '2.6.22-1-mepis-smp'. My USB wireless adapter is a 'Lemel LM-WLG600U 802.11g'. The old story: I am able to get it to work in Microsloth Windows XP with the driver CD, but the real problem of course is getting it to run in Linux. At first the build seemed to be running OK, but after a minute or so it failed with the following output: root@laptop:/home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old# make ./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h make -C /lib/modules/2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/build M=/home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-1-mepis-smp' CC [M] /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/misc/eeprom_93cx6.o CC [M] /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.o In file included from /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:34: /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.h:361: error: field 'napi' has incomplete type /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c: In function 'b44_poll': /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:849: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '__mptr' /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:849: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:879: error: too many arguments to function 'netif_rx_complete' /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c: In function 'b44_interrupt': /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:911: error: too many arguments to function 'netif_rx_schedule_prep' /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:917: error: too many arguments to function '__netif_rx_schedule' /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c: In function 'b44_open': /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:1433: warning: implicit declaration of function 'napi_enable' /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:1442: warning: implicit declaration of function 'napi_disable' /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c: At top level: /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:2051: error: unknown field 'get_sset_count' specified in initializer /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:2051: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c: In function 'b44_init_one': /home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.c:2159: warning: implicit declaration of function 'netif_napi_add' make[3]: *** [/home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net/b44.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old/drivers/net] Error 2 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/vince/downloads/compat-wireless-2.6-old] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-1-mepis-smp' make: *** [modules] Error 2 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
