I got a laptop a while ago and a pcmcia network card to go with it. The network card has some basic linux support: it comes with a c file and a h file that you can compile into a module.
I tried compiling it with the 2.4 kernel and pcmcia-cs, and got some errors. I tried again with the 2.2.20 kernel and got a few errors, actually three errors repeated in a few places. The errors are structure has no member named 'tbusy' structure has no member named 'interrupt' structure has no member named '' <- I forget the third name I looked in the kernel headers at netdriver.h or netdevice.h (I think that's the name) at the structure in question (struct netdevice, I think, IIRC). Well I looked at that one file as it exists in two places: the kernel source tree, and /usr/include. Those members exist in the file in the kernel sources, but not in /usr/include. I had installed various versions of the kernel sources, so once I decided that I needed kernel 2.2.20, I did a fresh reinstall (including new arrangement of disk partitions) of debian onto the laptop, and only installed debian base (kernel 2.2.20) and kernel-sources for 2.2.20 (and a bunch of other packages for compiling, desktop, etc, but no other kernels in any form). Now what? Have I done something wrong? Should I just exclude the /usr/include files from the compilation? How? Maybe I'll try to make depend on the c file and see what files are actually getting included. Also, anyone care to give me some hints on how to port the device driver to linux kernel 2.4? I need 2.4 for other devices. Laptop is IBM Thinkpad 600E, linux kernel 2.2.20, pcmcia-cs (sorry I forget, it's the one that came on the Woody Testing cd in early-to-mid March (March 18? March 19?). It was a fresh install of all that stuff from the cds. I'm emailing from my work account, my other home computer is messed up and I can't read email for a few days due to another reason.
