how about using this as a guide: http://lwn.net/Articles/96491/ (which specifically show u where to make the change) And from here: http://lwn.net/Articles/150826/ The net_device structure has long contained a get_wireless_stats() method, used by wireless network drivers. A previous update of the wireless extensions API moved that method over to the iw_handler_def structure, but still continued to use the older form when present. Wireless extensions 19 maintains that compatibility a little longer, but now issues a warning when a driver uses the older API. And for WE-19: http://lwn.net/Articles/150384/ On Thu, Jan 1, 2009 at 2:22 AM, rajat swarup <rajats@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > I'm trying to port a Wireless Symbol LA3021 driver to Linux kernel > 2.6.21.
