Madwifi-ng Recent Builds

[Ian MacDonald]

Hey there,

Recent kernels I am building are failing to install the madwifi-ng
modules .deb due to some incorrect dependency information.

My madwifi-ng kernel is a little unusual, in that it for a machine
running Xen architecture.  Anyhow, it used to work fine, so I am
assuming something recently changed.

My make-kpkg command is 

fakeroot make-kpkg --added_patches xen --arch=xen --config menuconfig
--append-to-version=.6-xen kernel_image modules_image

Today it produced:

kernel-xen0-2.6.12.6-xen_12.6_i386.deb
madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.12.6-xen_0.svnr1486.20060328-1+12.6_i386.deb

Previously, until my update of madwifi-ng-source today, the
modules_image looked like:

madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.12.6-xen_0.9.0+svn1401-2+12.6_i386.deb

Normally a dpkg -i installs both the kernel_image and modules_image
without problems, however somewhere between svn 1401 (which works fine)
and svn1486 something broke.  Now I get the following error.

root@/usr/src# dpkg -i
madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.12.6-xen_0.svnr1486.20060328-1+12.6_i386.deb

I suppose my next step is to try and compare the new source to the old
source to try and find the problem.  I believe Xen0 is the sub-arch
(there is also xenu), however building with --sub-arch=xen0 makes no
difference.

Any help appreciated.

My source is

cheers,
Ian.
