I am trying to build ndiswrapper with the latest kernel 2.6.27, and the build fails due to an api change. This is the error message: CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.o /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c: In function 'ndis_translate_scan': /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1037: warning: passing argument 1 of 'iwe_stream_add_event' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1037: warning: passing argument 3 of 'iwe_stream_add_event' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1037: warning: passing argument 4 of 'iwe_stream_add_event' makes pointer from integer without a cast /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1037: error: too few arguments to function 'iwe_stream_add_event' /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1047: warning: passing argument 1 of 'iwe_stream_add_point' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1047: warning: passing argument 3 of 'iwe_stream_add_point' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1047: warning: passing argument 4 of 'iwe_stream_add_point' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.c:1047: error: too few arguments to function 'iwe_stream_add_point' ... make[4]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.53/work/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver] Error 2 make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/main' make: *** [modules] Error 2 ndiswrapper from svn builds correctly and works fine.

This patch http://nopaste.debianforum.de/10153 solves the problem.
I can confirm that https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241688#c1 solves the bug. So, any news on a new ebuild?

Created attachment 169516 [details] Patched Ebuild This ebuild and the associated patch appear to fix building for me.
Created attachment 169518 [details, diff] Patch to go with ebuild This is the patch mentioned earlier in the bug with a little tweaking.
Maybe we can use the svn build/snapshot; it is very stable and causes no problems for me.

Something from svn may be better.

Hi, The patch in attachement is ok for me too : # cd /usr/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper # wget "http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=169516" -O ndiswrapper-1.53-r1.ebuild # wget "http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=169518" -O files/ndiswrapper-1.53-2.6.27-kernel.patch # ebuild ndiswrapper-1.53-r1.ebuild manifest # emerge net-wireless/ndiswrapper ... installing netwg511 ... work's fine !
*** Bug 246123 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The slightly different patch over in bug 246123 is worthy of consideration, since it came from upstream ndiswrapper svn.
Created attachment 171317 [details, diff] patch from SVN/upstream for 2.6.27+ support
Thanks for this! Add me to the list of satisfied customers. I can finally move my old Toshiba laptop up to 2.6.27 kernels. There is still nothing about this fix upstream. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2216650&group_id=93482&atid=604450 Blessed be! Pappy
There is now.
Sorry for the delay but I was hoping for a ndiswrapper release. Added patch to 1.53-r1. Thanks
I think you can write off any new releases as ndiswrapper is MIA: http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/NDISwrapper_and_the_GPL
