#4 Unable to load the direcpc driver

[Anonymous]

Thanks for posting the new driver! I got everything
compiled against 2.4.17 kernel but we were getting the
following errors:

$ make
gcc -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-
strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DCPU=686 -
march=i686 -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -
DLINUX -I/home/galenh/working/linux-

dpc_usb.c:492: warning: implicit declaration of function
`usb_fill_int_urb'
ld -O2 -r -s -o direcpc.o dpc_usb.o dpc_common.o

Since the functions were inline in the new kernel
modules (2.4.19 kernel) for usb we put them in the
dpc_usb.c file directly so that we did not receive any
compile errors:

$ diff dpc_usb.c.orig dpc_usb.c.new

When I plug in the direcpc router it is not able to load
the driver:

Have you seen this error before? Do you have any
feedback that you can provide on this error?

Thank you for your help.

This occurs when using the original grey dish driver on a
white dish system. Upgrade to at least 1.1.4
