Hi!
I'm currently running PF_RING 5.2.0 with the bundled tg3-3.102 driver on a
server running Debian 6 (x64). For a few reasons I wan't to upgrade to a newer
PF_RING release (or even the SVN). However, in all versions above 5.2.0, the
bundled tg3-3.102 driver fails to compile.
First, just a minor issue: it seems to now be found under the path
"drivers/PF_RING_aware/2.6.x/Broadcom/...". This should be
"drivers/PF_RING_aware/Broadcom". Easily solved though, and isn't the root
cause of the issues I'm experiencing, just a side note.
Here's the output from the make:
---

The following line can sort of be ignored:
---
/usr/local/src/PF_RING-6641/drivers/PF_RING_aware/broadcom/tg3/tg3-3.102/../../../../../kernel/linux/pf_ring.h:522:81:
error: missing binary operator before token "("
---
Checking in pf_ring.h, this line is the offender:
---
#if defined(I82599_HW_FILTERING_SUPPORT) && (LINUX_VERSION_CODE <
KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,40))
---
Since I'm running 2.6.32, I omitted the kernel version check:
---
#if defined(I82599_HW_FILTERING_SUPPORT)
---
This got rid of the line in the make output above, but the make still fails
with what can be described as the "real" error here:
---
/usr/local/src/PF_RING-6641/drivers/PF_RING_aware/broadcom/tg3/tg3-3.102/tg3.c:4646:
warning: passing argument 4 of 'hook->ring_handler' makes pointer from integer

---
Comparing the code from the tg3 driver bundled with PF_RING 5.2.0 it hasn't
changed at all, so I don't know why it's complaining regarding that function
since it's identical as the one in 5.2.0. Before I noticed they were identical
I tried to simply copy the code (the whole tg3 directory) from my 5.2.0
directory to the one where I grabbed the SVN (6641) to. But with the same
error, naturally. I'm no programmer, but I'm guessing something in the PF_RING
header files or such are triggering this condition.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Johan
