I have compiled and could run vanilla kernel 2.6.15.4. But Problem
ocuurred when I tried to compile ndiswrapper module. I installed
ndiswrapper source from sarge debs.
/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.c:286:53: macro "halt" passed 1
arguments, but takes just 0
/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.c: In function `miniport_halt':
/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.c:286: warning: statement with no effect

Module /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper failed.
Hit return to Continue
kernel is kernel-image-2.6.15.4.20060301 and kernel-source is in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.4
and kernel headers in /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.15.4.20060301 and
ndiswrapper source in /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper.
How should I proceed to compile ndiswrapper module?
Further if anybody can throw somelight why kernel compiled from u
nstable source couldn't boot even?
