Hauke has already given you the answer - your kernel tree is *not* 2.6.27(.0), and as it is obvious that you have 2.6.27.29-0.1, which is 2.6.27.29 + suse-patches. Even 2.6.27.29 is not 2.6.27(.0), but somewhat closer to 2.6.28. And you really have already had your answer - your tree is somewhat between 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, and *neither*. My suggestion would be simply to delete all the 'error: redefinition' parts from net/compat-2.6.28.h , because you already have them in the suse tree. You may also need to delete something from net/compat-2.6.28.c, but that will happen during the linking stage (much later). > > > ./scripts/driver-select ar9170 > > make > > ./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h > make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-k7/build > M=/home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat-wireless-2009-09-29 > modules > make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.29-0.1' > LD > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/drivers/net/wireless/ath/built-in.o > CC [M] > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/drivers/net/wireless/ath/main.o > In file included from > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat.h:19, > > from <command-line>:0: > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat-2.6.28.h:152: error: > redefinition of > ‘struct tracepoint’ > In file included from > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat.h:19, > > from <command-line>:0: > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat-2.6.28.h:182:1: > warning: "DEFINE_TRACE" > redefined > In file included from include/linux/module.h:19, > > from include/linux/textsearch.h:7, > > from include/linux/skbuff.h:26, > > from > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat-2.6.28.h:10, > > from > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat.h:19, > > from <command-line>:0: > include/linux/tracepoint.h:86:1: warning: this is the > location of the previous > definition > /home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/include/net/compat-2.6.28.h:186: error: > redefinition of > ‘tracepoint_update_probe_range’ > include/linux/tracepoint.h:100: error: previous definition > of > ‘tracepoint_update_probe_range’ was here > make[4]: *** [/home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/drivers/net/wireless/ath/main.o] Fehler > 1 > make[3]: *** [/home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/drivers/net/wireless/ath] Fehler 2 > make[2]: *** [/home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29/drivers/net/wireless] Fehler 2 > make[1]: *** > [_module_/home/malte_gell/download/src/wifi/compat- > wireless-2009-09-29] Fehler 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.29-0.1' > make: *** [modules] Fehler 2 > > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Thanx for your efforts. By the way, do I need to set CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS in the kernel? I just see it is _not_ set in openSUSE 11.1. > You may also need to delete something from net/compat-2.6.28.c, but that > will happen during the linking stage (much later).

You should not do that, as the compat modules should be compiled against a correct config, as in a config that corresponds to how your kernel was built. >> You may also need to delete something from net/compat-2.6.28.c, but that >> will happen during the linking stage (much later). > > So, no need to modify compat-2.6.28.c? Does it automatically happen? You may or may not see any errors at the linker stage (the LD part in stage 2). If you get to that point without further error, then, well, count yourself lucky and just give "make install ; make unload; modprobe -v ar9170" a go. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Ho ho ;-) I got a lot of warnings like this: include/linux/tracepoint.h:86:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition But, it DID compile! Thanx a lot. To be sure I did a find . -name "*.ko" and got these modules: ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.ko ./net/rfkill/rfkill_backport.ko ./net/wireless/cfg80211.ko ./net/mac80211/mac80211.ko I just wonder, where is ar9170usb !?

Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Date: Tue Jul 21 14:43:15 2009 -0700 ar9170 works needs more compat work for 2.6.27 We leave it only enabled for >= 2.6.28, usb_hcd_unlink_urb() is used within usb_poison_urb() and although it is available on 2.6.27 its not exported and cannot be re-implemented. If we figure out a way to drop the urb from the hardware queue as usb_hcd_unlink_urb() does then we can backport this. Also I think we need to backport usb_kill_urb_queue(). Signed-off-by: Luis R.
