mac80211 "wme.c:398" error

[zergavis]

Hi,

My name is Pawel Bieniek, and I'm new on this list.

Today I was trying to compile mac80211 into my kernel (2.6.21.4) on
archlinux. I need it to run intel 4965AGN on my toshiba satelite A200
notebook.

Unfortunately, it returns an error during compilation:

net/mac80211/wme.c: In function 'wme_qdiscop_destroy':
net/mac80211/wme.c:358: warning: implicit declaration of function 
'tcf_destroy_chain'
net/mac80211/wme.c: In function 'wme_qdiscop_init':
net/mac80211/wme.c:398: warning: dereferencing 'void *' pointer
net/mac80211/wme.c:398: error: request for member 'wiphy' in something not 
a structure or union

Could someone help me handle with this?

Regards,
Pawel

I just uploaded mac80211-8.0.1.tgz at:

	http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=mac80211?n=downloads

I ran a build tests against 2.6.18 and 2.6.21-rc1.

I did a run-time test on 2.6.21-rc1 (32-bit) w/ iwl3945 and CONFIG_NET_SCHED=y

Let me know if you have any more build issues.

Thanks,
James

On 2.6.21.4 build ran just perfect.

There were problems with build debug output for mac80211 (same wme.c -
request for member 'wiphy'). I was enab=80le it to compile for test.
Without debug output, it works fine.

Thanks,
pawel

Sounds like the intellinuxwireless.org guys need to add something to
their kcompat patches...

enable CONFIG_NET_SCHED for now.

CONFIG_NET_SCHED being set is the problem w/ older kernels.  We missed backporting tcf_destroy_chain and missed an ieee80211_ptr reference (and that code path is only included if CONFIG_NET_SCHED=y).

If you turn *off* CONFIG_NET_SCHED, it should build and run fine (which is what I'm doing on 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 systems currently)

I'm testing a fix for that now, which will be in mac80211-8.0.1.

Uh, oops, sorry about that. I figured since the symbol wasn't really
declared properly it would be missing, not too much :)

Thanks, it works :) There was a problem with:

et/built-in.o: In function `rtnl_setlink':
rtnetlink.c:(.text+0x157bb): undefined reference to `wireless_rtnetlink_set'
net/built-in.o: In function `rtnl_getlink':
rtnetlink.c:(.text+0x15980): undefined reference to `wireless_rtnetlink_get'

but swiching off rtnetlink in wireless drivers fix it.

I will try mac80211-8.0.1 version in a few hours.

thanks,
pawel
