Hi,

while trying to build bcm43xx against 2.6.16-rc3:

mkdir -p /home/rene/Debian/Pakete/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-20060215/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/.tmp_versions
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=/home/rene/Debian/Pakete/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-20060215/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx

include/linux/highmem.h:12:25: error: asm/highmem.h: No such file or directory
[...]

neither linux/highmem.h nor asm/highmem.h are included by the driver but by
linux' headers.

there only is /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-rc3/include/asm-ppc/highmem.h,
obviously not found when building with ARCH=powerpc (default) because of

a) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2006-02-18 14:12 asm -> asm-powerpc

and

b) asm-powerpc doesn't contain a highmem.h link. But asm-ppc does

ARCH=ppc doesn't work because there's no arch/ppc/Makefile anymore

Works with 2.6.15-1, didn't yet try building against "normal" upstream
2.6.16-rc3

Regards,

Rene

Hi, 


Since it is almost a month since i pinged this bug report, and we are running
2.6.18 now, over the original 2.6.15, i guess this bug has been solved since
the ARCH=powerpc tree has maturated more, and is used for 32bit powermacs too.

Furthermore, the bmc43xx wireless driver is now builtin, making this bug even
more obsolet.

So, if this issue surfaces again, please file a new bug report, or reopen this
one.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
