Bug 112715 – ndiswrapper 1.5 does not emerge with kernel 2.4.28 or similar: usb.c:311: error: `URB_ASYNC_UNLINK' undeclared

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Niels Ott 2005-11-16 09:44:41 UTC]

ndiswrapper 1.5 does not emerge on my system and most probably this is because  
of kernel 2.4.28. A unhappy combination...  
 
WORKAROUND: Download ndiswrapper from sourceforge, edit driver/usb.c and 
comment out lines 310-312 so that they look like this: 
 
//#ifdef USB_ASYNC_UNLINK 
//	urb->transfer_flags |= URB_ASYNC_UNLINK; 
//#endif 
 
Then it compiles. Maybe this should become a path for 2.4.x kernel based 
systems for the ebuild? 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask ndiswrapper-1.5  
2. Do emerge =ndiswrapper-1.5  
 
  
Actual Results:

ndiswrapper-1.7 should fix this.
