wpa_supplicant won't compile on etch

[Pandor]

hi,

i've just installed debian testing on my laptop.
Now i'm trying to get my SMC wireless cardbus adaptor to work (atheros based) so I checked out and compiled the latest madwifi module sucesfully, but now i cant seem to compile the wpa_supplicant package. (i know it's in the debian rep. but i would like the latest version, including a compiled wpa_gui).

this is the errors i get when doing "make":

Code: Select all

In file included from /usr/src/madwifi/net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h:502,
                 from driver_madwifi.c:39:
usr/include/linux/if.h:95: error: redefinition of 'struct ifmap'
/usr/include/linux/if.h:131: error: redefinition of 'struct ifreq'

driver_madwifi.c: In function 'set80211priv':

driver_madwifi.c:91: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
driver_madwifi.c:91: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [driver_madwifi.o] Error 1

wpa_gui itself compiled fine btw ("make wpa_gui")

anyone any suggestions?
thx in advance.

At first I would check where in ieee80211_ioctl.h structures are redefined, there should be something like

Code: Select all

#ifndef SOMETHING
struct ...
#endif

Your task to find that "SOMETHING" and why it is not defined.

About 'IEEE80211_IOCTL_CHANLIST' you should find this definition and include it to the "driver_madwifi.c"

These sources not for your kernel source! or there is a bug in sources or in Makefile.

Sorry, forgot to mention i'm using kernel 2.6.12-1-686 and downloaded the 2.6.12 source from the testing rep. (build with oldconfig/make)

haven't had time to check out the source files as you suggested, but i'll have a look at it this evening, gotta go to work now.
