Ath5k compile error in wireless-2.6.git

Ath5k compile error in wireless-2.6.git

[John Daiker]

John,

I just checked out the wireless-2.6.git tree from Kernel.org to test th=
e=20
new ath5k driver. I get the following compile error on a 'vanilla'=20
git-clone.

Please use the 'everything' branch for development.

	git checkout everything

Thanks,

Hmmm...maybe this instead:

	git checkout -b everything origin/everything

Approach 1

Approach 2

What's fun is that the above is approach 1 is actually necessary on
PowerPC. It seems git for powerpc still uses the old branch stuff. For
example I can't use approach 2. I'll add this to the wiki for ath5k,
just a head up in case there's some PowerPC users out there.

I think this has more to do with the git version (i.e. release) than
the architecture.  "Approach 1" worked everywhere for a long time,
while I only became aware of "Approach 2" a few months ago.

On my x86 box I have git 1.5.2.5
On my PPC box have git 1.5.3.4

And no dice on the PowerPC box. Maybe I have to do a new pull with the
new release.. I'll try.

It might have to do with whether you started with "git clone" or by
simply rsync'ing the repository.  In the latter case, "Approach 1"
probably works fine...?

Anyway, whatever works for you makes me happy. :-)

Please use the 'everything' branch, not the 'ath5k' branch. This is
reflected on the wiki:
