Re: Kernel Compile Fail with 2.6.26 Drivers

Haven't lost track of what we've discussed.  

I am unable to make the iwlwifi branch compile in kernel 2.6.27 or .28 with Ubuntu patches.  It simply will not compile.  I am just looking for a way to make this work.

With the iwlwifi driver that comes with kernel Ubuntu 2.6.27.10 I can not associate in 'n' at 5.2GHz with the 4965AGN and DLink DIR-825.  Will not associate.  But does in 'a' and works fairly well.

All I need is a combination that works;  I've tried 2.6's iwlwifi in 2.6.27 and it won't compile, and it seems that 2.6.28's iwlwifi doesn't work in 'n'.  I've run Debian for eleven years and have always compiled my own custom kernels, but would very much like to get 'n' working.  Scripting is no problem, although I am not an actual coder.  I wish someone could pitch in briefly.
