Hi, I am trying to compile the driver for my wireless network-card from sourceforge under a brand new SuSE AMD64 installation. But it seems the compilation does not supports the 64'er-kernel,. MAKE says something about a wrong CPU type. Is there a way to compile the driver or have I to live with my cable-network? Thanks for any help! Axel

What is the exact error message? How is the compiler invoked? In general the make flags from the kernel should be used and those are fine. Btw. you need "-mno-red-zone -mcmodel=kernel" for compilation of modules on AMD64, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Note that this driver is still in a very early release. Most pages reference it as alpha. It works on my 32 bit systems (tried both on SuSE 8.2 and 9.0) after a bit of tweaking, but there's no reason to assume that the driver is 64bit clean. I see you've posted on their fora as well, and I think that's a better place to ask.
