Re: [PATCH 2.6.24-mm1] error compiling net driver NE2000/NE1000

Hi,

	I don't know if I have to warn on this or not, but as I didn't find any
discussion, it's probably better to mention it: the compiling error reported
below (or here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/4/173 ) does not seem to be
corrected in 2.6.25-rc2.mm1...  So, I don't know if a fix is going on somewhere
or if the bug has fallen in a black hole.

(In the original mail, I've proposed a patch as a quick fix, but I don't know if
it can be considered as a definitive correction or not)

Thanks,

P.

Hi,

	When I compile the kernel 2.6.24-mm1 with:
CONFIG_NET_ISA=y
CONFIG_NE2000=y

I have the following compile error:
...
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h

Thanks for reporting this.

As I saw that the file 8390p.c is compiled for this driver, but not the file 
8390.c which contains this function NS8390_init(), I fixed this error with
the following patch.

Alan's
8390-split-8390-support-into-a-pausing-and-a-non-pausing-driver-core.patch
would be a prime suspect.  I assume this bug isn't present ing mainline or
in 2.6.24?

As NS8390p_init() does the same thing than NS8390_init(), I suppose that this is the right fix ?
