Description:   Opened: 2004-08-16 19:14 0000 
Get a gcc compile failure trying to emerge madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040726.
Emerges fine in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r14. Error is:

from /var/tmp/portage/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040726/work/driver/if_ath.c:47:
include/linux/kernel.h:57:1: warning: this is the location of the previous
definition
/var/tmp/portage/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040726/work/driver/if_ath.c: In
function `ath_sysctl_handler':
/var/tmp/portage/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040726/work/driver/if_ath.c:3389:
error: too few arguments to function `proc_dointvec'

then a bunch of "initialization from incompatible pointer type" warnings for
lines 3417, 3420, 3422, 3424, 3426, 3428, 3430, 3432, 3434 (all in if_ath.c).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8 (is on thinkpad T42)
2. (re) Emerge madwifi-driver
3.

Actual Results:  
The gcc error listed in the details

Expected Results:  
Compiled ;)

I found a patch here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1008185

One hunk fails for me but it compiles.

I'm going to restart and test it out.

Yes the patch works good so far. On it right now.

Previous URL to patch was incorrect.  Correct URL is:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=82936&atid=567755&file_id=97472&aid=1008185

Just emerged madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040824 and compile failed (at a different
location). gcc error is:

/var/tmp/portage/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040824/work/net80211/ieee80211_linux.c:
in function `ieee80211_sysctl_debug':
... 369: error: too few arguments to function `proc_dointvec'
... 374: error: too few arguments to function `proc_dointvec'

Also (same source file) two warnings (line 386, 391): warning: initialization
from incompatible pointer type

------- Comment #5 From reillyp@centurytel.net 2004-08-25 18:05:48 0000 ------- 
Should have said: I'm compiling under installed kernel of 2.6.8-r1 and, as far
as I can tell, linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 (emerge lists those as the only kernel
headers installed).

------- Comment #6 From Per Cederberg 2004-08-26 00:47:58 0000 ------- 
This seems to be a dupe of bug #60424.
