Created attachment 114251 [details, diff]
patch to make module compile

Apply this patch and rt2400-1.2.2-b3/Module/rtmp_main.c will compile.

[Comment 2 Magnus 2007-03-24 15:00:06 UTC]

I have the same compile problem with a vanilla 2.6.20.3 kernel. Here is a temp workaround until it gets fixed in the portage tree. Download the patch I uploaded and compile the package by hand.

/magan

tar -zxf /usr/portage/distfiles/rt2400-1.2.2-b3.tar.gz

cd rt2400-1.2.2-b3/Module/
cat /tmp/foo.patch | patch
make
make install

cd ../Utility/
/usr/qt/3/bin/qmake -o Makefile raconfig2400.pro
make

./RaConfig2400

[Comment 3 Magnus 2007-03-24 15:52:07 UTC]

Sorry for spamming you all. My patch might be incorrect.
I found parts of that solution here:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=15161

Guess the way to do it is like this file is doing it:
/usr/portage/net-wireless/rt2400/files/rt2400-1.2.3_beta3-2.6.17.patch

/magan

Can you try to make an ebuild for a cvs snapshot and test it out please?
You can get it at:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2400-cvs-daily.tar.gz

Otherwise feel free to wait for the rt2x00 driver bug 176148

waiting for upstream to release a new rt2400 or rt2x00
