The 'priv' member of struct net_device has been replaced with the function netdev_priv().

All uses of priv need to be updated.

I found a fix that works for me. In et131x_supp.h there is a macro that maintains compatibility with older kernel versions by replacing netdev_priv( dev ) calls with dev->priv. For some reason this directive is incorrectly activated during compilation.

Fix:

open et131x_supp.h and comment out the following lines:

#ifndef netdev_priv
#define netdev_priv(x) (ET131X_ADAPTER *)netdev->priv
#endif
