Got 0.2.7, added the INIT_WORK patch cos that's what build
failed for
and it now won;t build because "Modules.symvers"
is expected in src/p80211.

Before I go grab the output of make to post, is this already
fixed?

BTW, SuSE10.1 is kernel 2.6.16.

Currently lwlan-ng does work but the kernel puts out errors
about
something with rrid lengths. Does that with other
"Unsupported by
Novell" usb devices as well.

It's not stock. Like Red Hat, kernel fixes are backported.
The build failed
after several warnings about INIT_WORK. I did not keep the
output from make.
After patching it got past that and stopped on
"Modules.symvers"

Supported by Novell? nope! But they built the modules
anyway. Occurs with all
Prism2 usb devices, Pegasus and Kaweth usb devices as well
so far and a couple
others I can't recall offhand.

Sorry--very tired and easy to forget things.

Here's the outputs from make...

I had filtered out the usb bus errors from the syslog, which
had made the
logfile too huge, taking up far, far too much disk space.
Here's a line from the
last time I plugged in the prism2 device:

===BEGIN===
May  4 20:17:57 ばかボユ kernel:
usbctlx_rrid_completor_fn: RID len mismatch,
rid=0xfcbe hlen=2 fwlen=-2

There were quite a few thousands in the syslog.

In this case, p80211 was failing to build, apparently
because the 
kernel-supplied Module.symvers was missing.

Ugh; if they backported features as well as just
"fixes" that may break 
things -- we use the kernel version to determine which 
back-compatibility things to enable.

That said, the error you are reporting doesn't seem to make
sense; the 
'Module.symvers' file is created by the kernel build system
as part of 
the kernel build.  Do you have it in
/lib/modules/_kernelver_/build/  ?

Hi,

We have to copy the Module.symvers from p80211 to get the
prism2 driver
to build properly under the new kernel build system.

we added this to the prism2 Makefile :-

 ifeq ($(KERN_2_6_17), y)
        cp $(WLAN_SRC)/p80211/Module*.symvers .
        $(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_SRC) M='$(PWD)'
WLAN_SRC=$(WLAN_SRC) modules

So I guess if your kernel backported the new build system
you'll need to
do that too. 

Cheers
Richard
