Description Michael David Mullins 2003-07-19 19:05:22 UTC
After install disk failed to establish network, downloaded tulip.c driver.  
Driver fails to make in two ways.

1. get error message 'malloc.h deprecated, use slab.h insteasd'

...which I fix by replacing instances of malloc.h with slab.h in source code.

Make then fails with...

2. a series of errors of the type 'structure has no member named'...
and it lists such things as 'tbusy', 'interrupt', etc.,thus:

'tulip.c: In function 'tulip_open':
'tulip.c:1488: structure has no member named 'tbusy'
'tulip.c:1489: structure has no member named 'start'
    ....etc.

Without being able to establish network, I'm unable to 'emerge' anything.

Thank you.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.download 'tulip' driver
2.untar/gzip -d driver
3.type 'make'

Actual Results:  
make: *** [tulip.o] Error 1

Expected Results:  
make into 'tulip.o' to modprobe?

Give 1.4_final livecd a try. It should work for tulip. If not, please re-file a new bug listing the specific ISO image you used.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
