[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#406823: linux-wlaNn-ng: fails to build with linux-2.6.20rc5

[coldtobi]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.6+svn20061108+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

It seems there have been an interface change in the kernel, the macro
INIT_WORK does not take 3 parameters anymore. But as the third argument
is a pointer, omitting it will obivously not work.

Severity is minor, as 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 is not in debian yet.

I did not test 2.6.19, but read in the net, that the problem is there
too.

Note: This bug is also relevant to other modules.
so far, i found the bug in rt2500-source and maybe related to rt2x00.

I'll file seperate bugs for each pacakge in debian.
