Description:   Opened: 2006-07-24 14:39 0000 
build fails with an error message, that i now longer get because i fixed it in
this way:

1.) the file kernelversion.c must include "<linux/utsrelease.h>".
2.) the file include/compat.h must not define the "roundup" macro.
3.) the file net80211/ieee80211_linux.c must include "<linux/proc_fs.h>".

After these changes the madwifi-ng driver compiles succesfully against
linux-2.6.18-rc2.

can you please give us a patch for the source and verify that it works with
older kernels, too?

you get a patch that way:

cp madwifi madwifie.orig -R
cd madwifi
(make your changes)
cd ..
diff -Nurp madwifi.orig madwifi > patch

patch to make madwifi compile against >=2.6.18-rc2

i'm sure: this patch won't work for older kernels. some ifdef magic is
required.

I have added the rc for 0.9.2 and it builds with 2.6.18.

Currently p.masked but the final 0.9.2 will not be p.masked.
