I'm running on Debian "Sarge" kernel 2.6.8-4-686

I do get the warning
   CC [M]  /home/bruce/rtl-wifi/rtl818x-newstack/r8180_wx.o
/home/bruce/rtl-wifi/rtl818x-newstack/r8180_wx.c:469: warning: 
`r8180_wx_set_monitor_type' defined but not used
I've just been ignoring this warning.

I don't get the warning about ISO C90 not liking mixed declarations and 
code. Checking the version of my C compiler gives

I expect that you have a different version/configuration that causes you 
to get the warning. I think you can ignore this warning as well.
