Bug 110776 – zd1211 kernel module fail to compile

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cesare Gargano 2005-10-29 02:47:46 UTC]

zd1211 kernel module fail to compile. It try to find "verify_area" kernel ksym,
but "verify_area" from linux kernel version up to 2.6.13 there's no more. Change
it to "access_ok" work.
At "www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg37872.html"
there's a explanation of URB_ASYNC_UNLINK use, set it to 0 is "a" solution (to
verify).
That's all. Goodbye.
