Re: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

Hi Stephen,

I'll add linux-wireless and ath6kl-devel as I'm sick today and hopefully
someone else from our team will take a look at it.

I can't figure out what goes wrong here.  On the compile command line,
KBUILD_MODNAME is not defined, but KBUILD_BASE_NAME is.

However, reverting commit fde57764ef87 ("ath6kl: enable USB support")
made the problem go away.  That commit caused the above two files to be
built into two separate modules.
Is this ppc specific problem? Is there anything we should do on ath6kl
to fix this?
