Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.7-1.457 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take ipw2100 driver from ipw2100.sf.net 2. Try to build it against installed kernel 3. Actual Results: The error (mentioned above) Expected Results: Driver to be built Additional info:
It was moved to drivers/net/wireless, IIRC.
Bill - sorry, but it is not in kernel-2.6.*i686.rpm. That is why I filed this bug. Are you saying I should look at different rpm?
I mean ieee802_11.h, of course. Or did you mean the intel's centrino driver?
It's in the FAQ: http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/faq.php#qa_3_1
Well, I don't mind. That's what I am doing. But is there any special reason NOT to include this header?
The header is in the kernel-source package. I think that the reason why it's not readily available to drivers is because it's supposed to be private, for now, while work is ongoing to consolidating the wireless drivers. Your best bet is to either change the include directories used by the ipw2x00 drivers, or simply keep on copying that file to the source directory.
