I must thank KeithB for creating a version of the network driver that has overall worked! I'm using kernel 2.6.26, although right now the latest stable is .27, and .28 will probably be out within days (unless it already is and I'm slow).
The only change I remember needing to make to get it to compile here was on line 561 (I think). In recent kernels, dev_get_by_name's invocation prototype seems to have changed and requires two parameters instead of one. After a bit of googling to find out what to change it to, I'm seeing that newer code seems to just need to insert init_net and everything suddenly works. So, I needed to change if( !(v->ether=dev_get_by_name(name)) ) to if( !(v->ether=dev_get_by_name(&init_net, name)) ) and it immediately not only compiled but modprobed perfectly. init_net seems to not need to be defined anywhere; maybe it's hidden amongst some headers. -- BasiliskII has no networking because NetDriver 'sheet_net.c' doesn't compile on Gutsy/kernel 2.6.22 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
