[Aironet] Compiling for RedHat 6.2

[<br...@al...>]

It is a tricky thing to support 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4 kernels plus the
different versions of PCMCIA card services.  Now that aironet is included
in the PCMCIA distribution the versioning problem with PCMCIA goes away.
However, RedHat 6.2 uses a very old version of PCMCIA card services which
was before aironet was integrated.  Since the old aironet sources weren't
archived (does anyone have an archive BTW, there have been a couple of
people asking me...), the best thing to do is use the code found in the
latest PCMCIA dist and add the following lines:

to airo.c right after the #include blocks:
#define OLD_PCMCIA_DIST
#ifdef OLD_PCMCIA_DIST
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x2030e)
#define net_device              device
#endif
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x2032b)
#define netif_stop_queue(dev) do { (dev)->tbusy = 1; } while (0)
#define netif_start_queue(dev) do { (dev)->tbusy = 0; } while (0)
#define netif_wake_queue(dev) \
    do { (dev)->tbusy = 0; mark_bh(NET_BH); } while (0)
#define netif_mark_up(dev) do { (dev)->start = 1; } while (0)
#define netif_mark_down(dev) do { (dev)->start = 0; } while (0)
#define netif_device_present(dev) ((dev)->start)
#else
#define netif_mark_up(dev) do { } while (0)
#define netif_mark_down(dev) do { } while (0)
#endif
#endif

to airo_cs.c right before #ifdef __IN_PCMCIA_PACKAGE__:
#define __IN_PCMCIA_PACKAGE__
#define netif_stop_queue(dev)   set_bit(0, (void *)&(dev)->tbusy)
#define netif_start_queue(dev)  clear_bit(0, (void *)&(dev)->tbusy)
#define netif_wake_queue(dev) \
    do { netif_start_queue(dev); mark_bh(NET_BH); } while (0)
#define netif_device_attach(dev) \
    do { (dev)->start = 1; netif_start_queue(dev); } while (0)
#define netif_device_detach(dev) \
    do { (dev)->start = 0; netif_stop_queue(dev); } while (0)

put both airo.c and airo_cs.c in the modules subdirectory of the PCMCIA
source and do make MODULES="airo.o airo_cs.o".

I have not been able to compile the airo_cs.c source
to airo_cs.o under RedHat 6.2 or Slackware 7. The
airo.c file compiles fine, but when I compile the
airo_cs.c I see a pile of variable redefinitions.  I
am curious if anyone else has been able to compile
these under the 2.2.13 kernel or if I am doing
something wrong?
