Hi all, I noticed that the wireless-next tree has been merged into the net-next tree today. Has anything been done about the build failure I reported in the wireless-next a while ago: On 12/22/2011 16:58 +1100, Stephen Rothwell wrote:

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.There was some discussion, but I did not notice any fix (I may have missed it). I have been reverting that above commit ... -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
