Control: retitle -1 r8168-dkms: fails to build module for kernel 3.8 Control: forwarded -1 https://code.google.com/p/r8168/issues/detail?id=12
> This patch works for me: > https://launchpadlibrarian.net/136947221/r8168-8.035.00.patch NACK. That patch seems to fix the issue for 3.8+ while potentially breaking the driver on older kernels. The following (added to the top of r8168_n.c) might do the job, but it needs to be tested: #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,8,0) #define __devinit #define __devexit_p(x) x #endif A patch needs to be licensed under (or compatible with) GPL2.0+. And I'd like to see a reference to a kernel commit that removed these definitions. Or caused breakage otherwise. Or documentation about such a change.
