Hi All,

Trying to move to the 2.6.27 kernel. Here is the info:
------
kernel Fedora 2.6.27-0.329.rc6.git2.fc10.i686
------
Downloaded the compat-wireless-2008-09-21.tar.bz2. Applied the
connectivity patch which worked fine. However, here are the errors I
get:
------
/home/downloads/compat-wireless-2008-09-21/net/mac80211/rx.c: In
function 'ieee80211_frame_allowed':
/home/downloads/compat-wireless-2008-09-21/net/mac80211/rx.c:1196:
error: 'ETH_P_PAE' undeclared (first use in this function)

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6..27-0.329.rc6.git2.fc10.i686'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
------

I am obviously downing something stupid.

Also, the driver that is built with the above kernel from FC10 is
slower than molasses and all sites get timed out.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,
Partha

Backport work is required, I don't have time to do this right now
though. If you'd like to help resolve it check out wireless-testing,
see where this is defined, and then add it to compat.h.

Hi all,

As Luis suggested, I found the definition in if_ether.h under wireless-testing git. I copied that file to compat-wireless-2.6/include/linux and added entry into compat.h.

I was able  to compile the code however not tested it as I was remote & unloading the modules will disconnect my connectivty. Will test it in the evening.

Thanks Luis!

cheers,

-amit-
