Compilation Problem

Compilation Problem

[Chris Calitz]

Hi Everyone

I'm currently running ubuntu hardy 8.04 and struggling with default
iwl3945 driver dropping connection randomly and needing me to disable
and enable before it comes back up.=20

I have found that the compact-wireless driver apparently fixes this
issue but when I try to build this driver I get the following errors.

Can anybody help met to get this working?

Thanks
Chris

For now you can just turn off building mac80211_hwsim; it's a test driver so
you don't need it, and I don't think it is fully back-ported.  Edit config.mk
and set CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM=n.

TIm sent in a patch which backports this call correctly, should be
propagated to a new tarball by tomorrow.
