Hi list,
How could i get the latest compat-wireless code and compile against an new kernel which pull from linus' tree?
I am using v3.7-rc4. It seems there is no ready compat-wireless code for it. Is there any repo for this?

Any comment would be appreciated!

Hi Shuo,

compat-drivers compiles for me against kernel 3.7-rc6 without any problems. Try out the latest version:

Hi Hauke,
Sorry for disturb again.
I am trying compat-wireless-2012-11-25 for v3.7-rc7, but it fails. I downloaded the tar package and unpackaged, driver-select b43, make Some logs:

I found the linux/pm_qos_params.h has been renamed to pm_qos.h one year ago. I am confused why compat-wirelss need this old header. Anything i missed?

Hi Shuo,

There seams to be something wrong with your kernel. The include done in include/linux/pm_qos.h:9:0 should not happen on your kernel version.

Does include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h in your kernel directory contains #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 197895 or does it contain some other number?

Hi Shuo,

Does include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h in your kernel directory contains #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 197895 or does it contain some other number?

The problem had been resolved.
There is an old LINUX_VERSION_CODE in the version.h. So i clean the kernel tree and make a full compile again. The errors above went away. Another thing is i found the latest compat driver contains some graphics drivers. When i install a wireless driver, such as b43, the graphics drivers also will be installed. That will break my original in-tree graphic drivers dep and caused some issue when X startup. So now, i turn to use latest wireless and graphic in-tree drivers with the latest kernel. They work well.
Thanks, again!
