ndiswrapper / Discussion / Help: 1.53 - doesn't compile with kernel 2.6.27

kayman04 - 2008-10-11

Compile fails using ndiswrapper 1.53 (and 1.51) with kernel 2.6.27 (vanilla - from kernel.org). See output below.

My current working version is 1.51 with kernel 2.6.24.7, it compiles with no errors.

Output of the 1.53 compile:

  Well, what I did on October 20 didn't work. I think I got the SDM trunk and ndis6wrapper mixed up. I punted (throw-in) and re-untarballed 1.53, downloaded the whole SDM "driver" directory and re-installed. This time successfully. I am now happily wirelessing with kernel 2.6.26.6-49.fc8. Yay! Mad skilz, I tell you, mad skilz! Mad props to the developers, whom I think were thrown a bad deal by Linus and company, for coming through with a fix. I hope you can find it in yourselves to continue to develop this amazing software. Thank you.

  Forgive the "me too", but I am also having the same problem. I am just adding my name so I can see what the fix is for this problem...if any exist.

  I'm not sure this project is active anymore. Last activity was May 2008. It used to be pretty active so 5 months without any updates makes me wonder.

  This issue is fixed in SVN. It was posted to the mailing list which I hadn't seen when I first posted.
  So for anyone reading this, go grab the latest version from SVN.

  Is it possible to get a little assistance on the use of the SVN files for this project? For instance, what do I download to fix the compile for kernel versions later than 2.6.25?
  
  Thanks,

  All right, after a little poking around in the SVN, it appears that iw_ndis.c and Makefile were modified after the 1.53 release so I'm guessing that if I download those two and proceed as normal, I'll be able to use ndiswrapper with > 2.6.25 kernels. Can anyone confirm this?
  
  Thanks,

  Russ,
  
  That should work since iw_ndis.c was the only code that was affected. For me, I just grabbed everything for 1.53 as I was using a really old version.
  
  FWIW, I am now using the latest stable kernel 2.6.27.2 and it works like a charm.
  
  Good luck ...

  Kayman04, thanks for the hand. Once, long ago and far away I was a programmer so I dusted off my skills and gave it a look. I'll try the new modules later this week. I am sooo glad the documentation has moved to the new web page also. :(

  some little workaround for 2.6.27.4
  open ndiswrapper-src/driver/iw_ndis.c and add/change a few entrys
  it musst be look at the follow
  compare my post with the org file and see the little different
  
  only missing -> struct iw_request_info *info
  and some -> info
  
  i hope it help'S you too
  good luck
