[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#365556: linux-wlan-ng-source: Does not build against 2.6.16

[Adam C Powell IV]

Package: linux-wlan-ng-source
Version: 0.2.4+svn20060414-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable with current kernels

Greetings,

I just tried to build these modules with 2.6.16.  I have the stock
Debian kernel image installed, and used its config.  Then I did:

make oldconfig
make EXTRAVERSION=-1-686 prepare
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot modules --append-to-version -1-686

The build died with:

make[8]: *** [/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/src/prism2/driver/prism2_cs.o] Error 1

I was able to build this just fine against 2.6.15.  Is there something
I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
-Adam
