english?

latexer: I'll take care of this one.

[Comment 3 Christian Bartels 2004-10-31 08:00:52 UTC]

what english?

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-10-31 09:42:35 UTC]

That's not english... What's that say in English?

Makro 

[Comment 5 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-10-31 09:42:35 UTC]

That's not english... What's that say in English?

Makro »kthread_run« erfordert 5Argumente, aber nur 3 wurden angegeben

Based on the fact that it says that kthread_run is not declared... which is an internal kernel function... It looks like your kernel is not built properly or hasn't been configured. Have you compiled a kernel from those sources and built one yet?

[Comment 6 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-10-31 09:45:02 UTC]

> Makro 

[Comment 7 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-10-31 09:45:02 UTC]

> Makro »kthread_run« erfordert 5Argumente, aber nur 3 wurden angegeben

The "kthread_run" macro requires 5 arguments but only 3 were given.

[Comment 8 Christian Bartels 2004-10-31 13:51:52 UTC]

the kernel is configured, compiled and running.

[Comment 9 Jordan Baker 2004-11-15 18:40:54 UTC]

0.12rc1 fixes this problem.  this macro has changed in the last couple kernel updates, apparently.

[Comment 10 Jordan Baker 2004-11-16 21:05:07 UTC]

Created attachment 44135 [details]
ndiswrapper 0.12rc1 ebuild

in case someone else needs this: ebuild for 0.12rc1. not sure if the ebuild
follows gentoo naming convention 100% correctly.. anyone?

[Comment 11 Gard Spreemann 2004-11-17 12:32:32 UTC]

SMC2802W fails to load with ndiswrapper 0.12rc1 and kernel 2.6.10-rc2.
"ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol task_nice".

The inf file is accepted, and it says the hardware is fine. Worked perfectly with 0.11 and kernel 2.6.9.

[Comment 12 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-11-19 23:51:20 UTC]

Unfortunately contrarry to popular belief, the Mobile herd (and me especially) do not support RCs or PREs of the kernel as there are usually several show stopper bugs that need to get addressed by us on LKML prior to a stable kernel release.

I already have one on there prior to 2.6.10. 

ndiswrapper is also another package that mobile won't support RCs for.

As far as ndiswrapper support goes, all ndiswrapper bug reports need to include the following:

# cat /proc/version
# gcc --version
# ls -l /usr/src/linux   (no / at the end)
# uname -a 
# grep 'CONFIG_4KSTACKS' /usr/src/linux/.config


So basically, if you're having a problem with ndiswrapper... include those 5 things.

[Comment 13 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-11-20 02:04:33 UTC]

Please always include the output of 'emerge --info' when reporting a bug :)

[Comment 14 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-12-07 11:38:32 UTC]

Please test with the official ndiswrapper 0.12 ebuild and report back.

[Comment 15 Jeff Davidson 2004-12-11 19:18:44 UTC]

I'm getting the problem with 0.12, just building it off of a Knoppix LiveCD for the base system install (because otherwise, I won't have a network to get it).

45: macro "kthread_run" requires 5 arguments, but only 3 given

[Comment 16 Jeff Davidson 2004-12-11 19:24:11 UTC]

If I comment out the #ifdefs surrounding line 745 related to swsusp2, the driver compiles.  However, I won't continue further because I have no idea what the consequences of this are.

[Comment 17 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-12-26 23:49:28 UTC]

Try the latest 0.12-r2 ebuild and please report back

[Comment 18 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-12-29 15:57:06 UTC]

This is looking to get closed out due to lack of response as I'm 100% sure that new revisions test for these cases.

Please report back.

[Comment 19 Christian Bartels 2004-12-30 02:31:26 UTC]

ndiswrapper-0.12-r3 is working perfectly for me. thx!

[Comment 20 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-12-30 21:33:30 UTC]

Great to hear.
