Problem making compat-wireless-2.6

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1827 bytes --]

Hi guys

Not sure if this is a bug but I have not been able to make the compat wireless 
drivers.

I am running off Fedora 9 (x86_64) with kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64. I am 
interested in the iwl4965 driver.

Everything goes OK until we hit the compilation of part of the b43 driver. 
This is what I get:

/home/george/Download/compat-wireless-2008-06-28/drivers/net/wireless/b43/rfkill.c: 
In function ‘b43_rfkill_soft_toggle’:

It is entirely likely that I am doing something wrong but I don't know what.

Hope this is all OK to report.

Cheers

One simple solution would be to disable the building of unneeded
drivers by tuning your config.mk.

I suggest you to enable only the driver that you need.

Long answer, I don't know. Maybe some fix is needed to regain
compatibility. But, again, in your situation you can (and should for
efficienty's sake) forget about all the drivers that you don't care of.

Try editing drivers/net/wireless/b43/rfkill.c, and replacing
RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED with RFKILL_STATE_ON and
RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED with RFKILL_STATE_OFF. Looks like rfkill is
not part of the compat package, and no work has been done to match
compat-wireless to older RFKILLs.

=46WIW, rfkill probably _should_ be in compat-wireless.  Luis?

Right now, compat-wireless doesn't work even on 2.6.25, for this
reason. Even an implementation that requires 2.6.25 would be an
improvement from here.

wouldn't simple defines fix it for now until someone backports the
rfkill patches?

Dang :-) This was the fix.

Thank you for such prompt responses. Although I did this for the b43 driver, I 
ended up progressively having to do the same fix for the drivers for a couple 
more, ie iwlwifi and rxt200 

I am not concerned about the rxt200 but the driver I was interested in was the 
iwl4965, so I am not sure that by changing the settings on iwl-rfkill.c I 
have affected the driver I am using ....


Having said that... the email is brought to you courtesy of the iwl9645 wifi 
device .. which has got to be a Good Thing ;-)

Agree about the proper way of doing things - should really install a newer 
kernel, but I am strapped into an nVidia graphics card on my laptop and the 
livna drivers keep pace well but I think I risk breaking these at the moment 
with the newer kernel.

Thank you all for your prompt responses and asistance... on a weekend no 
less :-) I'll monitor progress and contribute whatever little I can as I get 
this new laptop settled.

Cheers
G.

I've fixed this in compat-wireless, it should now compile fine for
kernels <= 2.6.26.

Doh I had used < 2.6.26, I've now added this for <=. This RFKILL stuff
will be part of 2.6.27. Committed and pushed, in case you were trying
to compile compat-wireless on 2.6.26. New tarball will be generated
shortly.

Do you absolutely need the stuff I merged to wireless-next-2.6
yesterday?  If not, I think you will find these kernels from Koji to
otherwise be quite up-to-date:

	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=54043

Of course, the latest rawhide kernel (still building ATM) has the
latest wireless bits:

	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=54098

And if you don't want rawhide but still want the latest wireless bits,
there should be a new F9 kernel with those bits "soon" -- watch here:

	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8

Hth!
