I am following the instructions from here: http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi
I execute the following commands: m-a -l 2.6.32-bpo.5-686 prepare m-a -l 2.6.32-bpo.5-686 a-i madwifi The latter fails to compile, an extract of part of the errors is included below. I am running i386 lenny on an IBM T22 laptop, kernel is from backports Architecture: all Source: madwifi Version: 1:0.9.4+r3772.20080716-1 Depends: module-assistant, debhelper (>= 7), bzip2 Suggests: kernel-package, madwifi-tools Package: build-essential Version: 11.4 Package: module-assistant Version: 0.10.11.0 Package: debhelper Version: 7.0.15 Package: bzip2 Version: 1.0.5-1 Package: kernel-package Version: 11.015 madwifi compiles successfully for me with the stock 2.6.26 kernel. I am thinking maybe there should be a backports version of madwifi to go with the backported kernel? make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.5-686' CC [M] /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.o In file included from /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/../net80211/ieee80211_monitor.h:34, from /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.c:75: /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/../ath/if_athvar.h:107: error: conflicting types for 'irqreturn_t' /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.5-common/include/linux/irqreturn.h:16: error: previous declaration of 'irqreturn_t' was here /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.c: In function 'ath_attach': /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.c:478: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'priv' /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.c:818: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'open' /usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath/if_ath.c:819: error: 'struct net_device' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
