I realize we are still pretty early in the rc process but there are
some seemingly significant problems building compat-wireless
2.6.35_rc2 (which should be very close if not identical to the linus
tree). I have copied the rt2x00 team because of the first error and
Luiz for the second.
First and foremost this won't build at all:

After talking to Hauke2 on irc it seems that this outcome is very
expected when you try to build a mips driver for x86_64. I shouldn't be
trying to build this at all. Compat-wireless has a bunch of ifneq
statements which seem to be how this type of stupidity is prevented,
however, I can't exactly grok how to make this work. I know this driver
should dep RALINK_RT288X || RALINK_RT305X but I can't figure out how to
modify the section of config.mk to do that properly:
ifneq ($(CONFIG_CRC_CCITT),)
CONFIG_RT2800PCI=m
CONFIG_RT2800PCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT30XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT35XX=y
# CONFIG_RT2800PCI_SOC=y
endif
NEED_RT2X00=y
Currently it is just commented out which allows me to build but really
it should be uncommented and have a proper check to see if it should be
built or not. Luiz can you do this? Or someone hint me on how in the
world I would do it? I'd spend more time trying to figure this out but
the grass isn't going to cut itself.
Thanks,
Rick Farina
Additionally but likely less important this driver seems to be
defining variables overriding kernel headers, I can't imagine that is
good. Not sure if this is something that the driver needs to fix or
needs to be fixed in compat-wireless but here it is:

I'll try to build the rc2 kernel and see if these errors are the same.
