*** Bug 152729 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Changing to autoconf.h is not the correct solution. You need to patch it in this way: #include <linux/version.h> #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,18) #include <linux/config.h> #endif If that doesn't help, please elaborate on the later problems.
ok, this works for all the modules under the /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/ieee80211 directory, but when I go to /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187 and patch r8187.h and then run make, I still get: mythtv beta-8187 # pwd /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187 mythtv beta-8187 # make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r3/build SUBDIRS=/var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r3' CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.o /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.c: In function 'rtl8187_rx_urbsubmit': /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.c:680: warning: passing argument 6 of 'usb_fill_bulk_urb' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.c: In function 'rtl8180_tx': /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.c:1466: warning: passing argument 6 of 'usb_fill_bulk_urb' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.c: In function 'rtl8187_usb_probe': /var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.c:2385: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'get_wireless_stats' make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187/r8187_core.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/rtl8187-1.10/work/rtl8187_linuxdrv_V1.1/beta-8187] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r3' make: *** [modules] Error 2 mythtv beta-8187 #

It seems that the tarball from Realtek is newer than what we have in the portage Readme from the zip file that the portage downloads: Dec 8 2005 - created r8187_release_note.txt This site has a newer file http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true Download links from the above site: ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/wlan/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip ftp://61.56.86.122/cn/wlan/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip ftp://202.65.194.18/cn/wlan/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip Readme from the zip file downloaded directly from Realtek Version number is still 1.1, but release date is 2006-01-13 And it clearly mentions it supports Gentoo 3.1
I quickly checked through those new sources, and they don't fix the get_wireless_stats problem. But changing this line to #if WIRELESS_EXT < 17 dev->wireless_handlers->get_wireless_stats = r8180_get_wireless_stats; #endif could help. Some other drivers (like some ralink), also simply exclude such calls like that. I didn't test it though because I don't own yet such a card...
Ok.. after looking at the ipw drivers, I made a fix for this driver. It does: a) Replace the get_wireless_stats call with get_stats and the proper variable in assignment b) Fix the implicit declaration warnings, as they are ugly and easy to fix c) Fix the usb_fill_bulk_urb warnings, as previously suggested by Daniel Drake d) Remove obsolete linux/config.h includes from all files I will attach the patch here, maybe someone using this driver could test it.

I had a quick look at the attached ebuild: a) I wouldnt recommend doing seds in the ebuild, use a patch instead b) After a first look, it seems like the seds are not correct, they also replace occurrences they shouldn't. For example static struct iw_statistics is not wrong and isn't removed in my patch either. Please review this and compare the results to my patch.
Created attachment 107699 [details] rtl8187-1.10.ebuild Final ebuild containing seds, for posterity.
Created attachment 107700 [details] rtl8187-1.10.ebuild Ebuild which calls epatch instead of using seds.
Created attachment 107708 [details, diff] kernel-2.6.19.patch The patch. I'm wondering whether rtl8180_stats and r8180_get_stats are a bit muddled.
Paul, are you ignoring me or why are you submitting a completely new patch? You are replacing stuff in your patch, that shouldn't be replaced imho. I made my patch according to the way, the ipw2200 module works, replacing the iw_statistics lines seems wrong to me, use the rtl8180_stats variable in the assignment, which is already defined in the source, and has exactly the type required for get_stats. Nothing else is needed to fix the error. My other changes are only to remove warnings. Chris
> why are you submitting a completely new patch? This is a patch for the *updated* source, mentioned in comment #5. > You are replacing stuff in your patch, that shouldn't be replaced imho. Fair enough. It's the result of me spending hours trying to get it to compile, since I'm not familiar with C. I didn't say it couldn't be improved further ;)
(In reply to comment #16) > > why are you submitting a completely new patch? > > This is a patch for the *updated* source, mentioned in comment #5. Yea, but this new source hasn't addressed the main problems, so my patch can simply be ported to the new src without changes. > > > You are replacing stuff in your patch, that shouldn't be replaced imho. > > Fair enough. It's the result of me spending hours trying to get it to compile, > since I'm not familiar with C. I didn't say it couldn't be improved further ;) > It is easy to get it to compile (Already commenting out one line gets it to compile), the harder thing is to get it to compile AND at the same time let it do what it is supposed to do ;) Changing the iw_statistics stuff for example is one way to get it to compile, but I compared the source of the ipw module with this one, and both sources are really very similar (almost identical at most points), hence I adapted the changes from the ipw module to this one, believing that this preserves all functions of the module :) Chris
any comments from people on why rtl8187 is being deleted from portage? is there a replacement available?
A replacement project to create a working driver for the RTL8187 is rtl-wifi - bug #172913.
(In reply to comment #18) > any comments from people on why rtl8187 is being deleted from portage? is > there a replacement available? > Where did you get that info? I didn't see it in Gentoo Weekly. I just ordered a Netgear WG111v2 (with realtek chip) and now I am worried if it will work at all :(
The ebuild compiles fine, I only have getting my netgear working :(. I have posted a thread here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4024050.html#4024050 Any help would be appreciated!

I re-downloaded the ebuild. The previous one apperantly got messed up. This one is working :D
I can't remove the 'Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack' option in 2.6.20 kernel on another laptop. Therefor the ebuilds fails who compile. Who knows how the remove this option in the 2.6.20 kernel?
Here's some additional info.
