Sam, Madwifi, suse-madwifi: (Schmolle -- we need you man!) Build of madwifi on openSuSE 11.1 fails due to iwe_stream_add_event errors. The leading error is: /usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/net80211/ieee80211_wireless.c: In function 'giwscan_cb': /usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/net80211/ieee80211_wireless.c:1810: error: passing argument 1 of 'iwe_stream_add_event' from incompatible pointer type I have included the full error below. The build was done from madwifi-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2.src.rpm using rpmbuild --rebuild. After failure I unpacked the rpm, and looked at the spec file to see if there were any problems there. It looked fine. I have included the spec below as well. The source was madwifi-trunk-r3725-20080616. I can make that available if required. Currently there is no functioning madwifi driver (rpm) built for openSuSE 11.1. That means there are a whole slew of laptops out there that worked under all releases 10.2 through 11.0 but for which wireless is broken under 11.1. This is the same .src.rpm that built fine under 11.0, and there are no version specific requirements in the spec, so it looks like there has been a compiler change or something similar that is causing the build to fail. Another point is that many Toshiba laptops (others too I guess) only work with ath_pci and will not work with the ath5k kernel module. I don't know why, I just know that it is true from 4 years of experience with Toshibas and madwifi. So any solution we come up with must provide ath_pci. Hopefully someone can explain the build error to me so I know how to adjust to make it compile so I can finally get wireless working under 11.1. Any help or insight you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!
