Do you see this bug also on vanilla-kernel?
I'll have to make one first. I'll let you know when its done ( couple minutes )
builds and loads ok in 2.6.11 ( vanilla ) but since its broken on the mm tree, I suspect that soon it will be broken on the vanilla tree as well ( unless something gets changed before that ) sorry the noise. :)
Self-fulfilling prophecies? :) Well, it is indeed broken in vanilla now, and not limited to amd64 either (plain old PIII here). I'll try again with an older kernel, the one that breaks it is 2.6.12-rc2, and the error message I'm getting is identical to the one in the original report.
Created attachment 57036 [details] rt2500 emerge log Please reopen this bug, same error with vanilla 2.6.12-rc3.
reopening.
reassigning the the appropriate herd and cc'ing myself in. This fault looks like its a problem with a conditional include in the rt2500 code. Not checked yet though.
It's a general problem with the driver and kernel >= 2.6.10 You will find Info's how to patch the driver at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400 Henning
Can you please give us a direct link to the patch or wiki node? And maybe make an ebuild for it and test it so that I can RESOLVE this bug :)
Created attachment 59100 [details] emerge rt2500 log file Still flunking out of module compilation, now with vanilla kernel 2.6.12-rc4. I've looked around the sourceforge site for hints or patches, but came up empty.
Please provide me with a patch to fix it with the crrent coe and I will do. Otherwise I will just wait for: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Rt2x00_alpha to become useable, so that I can make a version bump.
Created attachment 59111 [details, diff] Patch for rtmp_main.c Frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing here, but it appears to compile and install when I do it... Found this page in the support section of their sourceforge site, and produced a patch from what I read there: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1196199&group_id=107832&atid=648845 Looks like rt2500 in CVS has been patched a long time ago, while Gentoo is still using the outdated form. Maybe it's better to use that newer version rather than patch the one we've got? You better double-check the whole thing before using the patch... Anyway, changing that one line in rtmp_main.c makes it compile with my 2.6.12-rc4 kernel.
Does your patch break older kernels? It makes it compile for me with rc4-mm1 :)
thanks fixed I apply the patch conditionally on kernel ge 2 6 12
