            Bug ID: 65881
           Summary: errors compiling after make defconfig-alx
           Product: Backports project
           Version: unspecified
    Kernel Version: 3.0.76-0.11-default
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1

          Assignee: backports@vger.kernel.org
          Reporter: kolson@wsd1.org
        Regression: No

Just trying to compile the alx driver for my kernel (3.0.76-0.11-default). Ran
make defconfig-alx, then make and got the following:

My apologies is this is a newbie mistake on my part, but I couldn't find any
forums with this error in it. Or perhaps it's a problem with my kernel?
Recently moved from SLES 11.2 TO 11.3.

Just to confirm, the patch was simply to delete the lines indicated in the
attachment and retry the previous steps. (I didn't find a patch to download,
just the steps.)

Assuming that was the correct procedure, here is the result:

make[5]: `conf' is up to date.

More SLES fixes

Is it correct that you are using Suse Linux Enterprise Server?

Their kernel probably has lots of patches like the Red Hat kernel and it is not
that easy to get backports running on such a kernel as nobody tried it before.

Could you try the attached patch, it will probably not work completely with
that patch, but you should get a set forward.

When you click on "attachment" and then on View you get the patch.

This is the default kernel for SLES 11.3 and unfortunately is the kernel Novell
uses for their production version of their current ZENworks Imaging product,
for which I need an updated alx. They just recently changed kernels (happens
roughly yearly), and this marks the first time I've had any major difficulty
compiling an updated driver. It is true that I can open an SR with them and in
time they will update the driver, but that can take weeks/months, whereas
*usually* I can get it done in about half an hour.

First off, I noted that on line 167 there was no closing parenthesis, so I put
one in. Hopefully that's correct.

Secondly, I got new errors, but fewer:

> When you click on "attachment" and then on View you get the patch.

When I click on "attachment" I get a nice web document that has the old code on
the left and the new code on the right, with changes highlighted in blue and
green.

when I click on "View" I see a screen that appears to have a script in it,
starting out:

diff --git a/backport-include/linux/device.h b/backport-include/linux/device.h
index e1d7bb7..198aec4 100644 ....

and so on. 

I tried copying this into a script file and executing it, but got these errors:

Thanks! That compiled without any errors!

Unfortunately, the driver did not work for the laptop we were trying to get on
the network. It's an Alienware 17 with Qualcomm LAN Killer E2201 wireless.
Vendor ID 1969 Device ID E091. Unfortunately, I no longer have the device in my
office, so testing any further updates requires extra steps from my colleagues.

However, I will monitor backports releases and try new ones periodically.
Hopefully the NIC in the Alienware notebook will be supported soon.

Thanks again for your help!

FWIW, it probably won't be supported unless somebody like you actually works on
it - I upstreamed the alx driver but Qualcomm never picked up maintenance and
don't seem to be even thinking about helping with the driver.

If you mean that I would need to write the driver, then I guess I'm out of
luck. If you mean I would need to be available for testing, I can certainly do
that.

I'll see if I can get Novell to do something. After all, the driver is used in
their product.
