I have managed to get it to compile now under pcmcia 3.1.30, but I'm now
getting
Checking module dependencies ...
depmod *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia/cs_enabler.o
depmod *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia/ds.o
depmod *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia/dummy_cs.o
depmod *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia/i82365.o
blah blah
...
depmod *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia/wl24_cs.o
Any suggestions? I am using the default nocat.net kernel atm, although
the drivers were compiled on a different machine using the 2.2.18 source
& pcmcia 3.1.30. At the moment Im waiting for the kernel to compile
using the nocat config file to see if that alleviates the dependency probs.
Sorry to be so non-specific but this is the first time I've really done
much kernel/driver compilation.
BTW the error I was getting previously (the one that I posted) was the
ONLY error I was getting, and the compile just stopped there :/.
Aparantly a diff ver of pcmcia helped alot.
