Description Ryan Hendrickson 2007-06-22 04:41:19 UTC 
What the summary says.  Apparently the INIT_WORK macro changed in between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20, and 0.14_beta1 can't handle it.

I have written a patch for at76c503a which fixes the problem for me.  I'm even reasonably confident that the patch does the right thing.  Someone who knows anything about programming kernel modules might want to double-check it for me, though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge >=gentoo-sources-2.6.20
2. emerge =at76c503a-0.14_beta1
3. cry
