ural-linux and kernel 2.6.14-*
Hi,
I couldn't build the ural-linux driver (
http://etudiants.insia.org/~jbobbio/ural-linux/ ) for kernel 2.6.14-*
(I got some warnings and errors).
I know nothing about programming. So I did some google.
Reading the file madwifi-cvs/net80211/ieee80211_var.h and
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/9fca7ce12c00cf68/15b0dcb877c6b38f?lnk=st&q=URB_ASYNC_UNLINK&rnum=2#15b0dcb877c6b38f
I did a little patch (three lines modified):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I can build ural-linux without warnings and errors for
debian_kernel_source 2.6.14-rc5.
The wifi works, but I don't know if this patch is correct.
Best regards,
Bin
