Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work

[Aaron Kerr <Aaron.Kerr@Sun.COM>]

I have been trying to compile more recent snapshots with a fresh 2.6.15
kernel. I have been side-tracked by a driver compile problem around an
declared value:
<ERR>
include/linux/skbuff.h:1209: error: ‘KM_SKB_DATA_SOFTIRQ’ undeclared
(first use in this function)
</ERR>
KM_SKB_DATA_SOFTIRQ is in a linux header for powerpc but not ppc.

After adding a sprinkling of arch=powerpc (to my kernel builds) this
error has gone away although I am not sure exactly how I fixed it (too
many changes and not testing often enough).

I have successfully compiled the 20060107 snapshots of ieeesoftmac and
bcm43xx and will test after work tonight (about 6 hours from now) as I
do not have an open wireless network at my place of work.
