mac80211 problems

[Jesse Shaver]

Hello All;
I am sorry for bothering this dev list with this question, but I can't =
seem to=20
find an answer anywhere else...

I am trying to get my Intel 4965AGN wireless to work under SuSE 10.2 (6=
4bit)=20
no a Lenovo X61 Core duo 2. I am trying to build mac80211 for it, but a=
m=20
getting errors.=20

my kernel is:
hayden:~/mac80211-9.0.4 # uname -a
Linux hayden 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:17:53 UTC 2007 x=
86_64=20
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The error I get is:

net/mac80211/ieee80211_sta.c: In function =E2=80=98sta_process_csa=E2=80=

I do have some programming background, but very little in C/C++ and onl=

limited kernel compiling experience.

thanks for any help you can give, sorry to bother you all.

Yeah, well, duh. Don't use ancient kernels.

The '%d' here should probably be a '%z' or a '%p' if it's a pointer.

Seems like a kernel/mac80211 mismatch?  What kernel are you using, and
where are you getting your mac80211 from?  This probably means you're
using a quite-recent mac80211 with an older kernel and stuff has
changed.
