Yes.

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:

iff: unrecognized option '--git'                                              
diff: Try `diff --help' for more information.                                  
If 'index' is not a typo you can run the following command to lookup the
package that contains the binary:
    command-not-found index                                                     
bash: index: command not found                                                  
If '---' is not a typo you can run the following command to lookup the package
that contains the binary:  
    command-not-found ---                                                       
bash: ---: command not found                                                    
If '+++' is not a typo you can run the following command to lookup the package
that contains the binary:  
    command-not-found +++
