Subject: Bug in wireless-compat due to patch 'cfg80211: do not replace BSS structs' usage of ksize
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:08:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49EB84D6.5070601@dokterbob.net> (raw)
Hello,
a couple of minutes I tried getting wireless-compat to work on my Gentoo
2.6.28-hardened-r7 kernel. Apparently the cfg80211 module expects there
to be a 'ksize' symbol which was not there. To be sure I checked that it
was also unavailable in the 2.6.28.9 vanilla kernel.
After some more looking around it turns out that this is the result of a
recent patch submitted to the wireless-test tree, in which in fact the
'ksize' symbol IS exported in mm/sl*b.c.
Indeed, if I revert the file net/wireless/scan.c to before commit
ad80a7a983e36c6d8f4ae57e4c472deb9cf1391c, I find the wireless-compat
modules to work perfectly.
I hope I can help you with this information. Nevertheless, I am no
kernel hacker. I am also not on the list, so please direct any further
questions to my personal email address.
Kind regards,
Mathijs de Bruin
