Compiling support for ActiveSync devices in compat-wireless depends on USB_NET_CDCETHER to be set in main kernel. But USB_NET_CDCETHER can also be a module, in which case CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER will not be defined inside compat_autoconf.h and the compat-wireless cdc_ether.ko will miss the support for it. So check also for CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER_MODULE in config.mk to be safe in both cases. Signed-off-by: Sven-Haegar Koch <haegar@xxxxxxxxx> --- I needed to also use an old windows mobile device (Palm Treo 750) connected over USB with my laptop which otherwise uses compat-wireless. But after connecting it I only got: usb 2-1: bad CDC descriptors This happens when in drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_RNDIS_HOST and CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_RNDIS_HOST_MODULE both are not defined, because it stubs out the rndis_host support. Perhaps not the most visually pleasing solution to just include the ifdef block in config.mk twice, but everything else would have needed a much deeper surgery - and as this is the only usage of ifdef in compat.mk where the symbol can also be a module I did not find it to be worth the additional complexity. Tested with compat-wireless-2.6.36-5-spn.tar.bz2, but also happened with earlier versions and should also apply to newer. c'ya sven-haegar Index: linux/compat-wireless/config.mk =================================================================== --- compat-wireless.orig/config.mk +++ compat-wireless/config.mk @@ -383,6 +383,10 @@ ifdef CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_RNDIS_HOST=m CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_RNDIS_WLAN=m endif #CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER +ifdef CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER_MODULE +CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_RNDIS_HOST=m +CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_RNDIS_WLAN=m +endif #CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER CONFIG_USB_NET_COMPAT_CDCETHER=m endif #CONFIG_COMPAT_KERNEL_29 -- 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
