Has anyone had any problems compiling support for the DEFPA fddi
controller under 2.1.29? System is running a fresh install of Slackware
3.1, with kernel upgraded to 2.1.29. Everything but the FDDI support
appears to work thus far. the errors look something like this:
----
fddi.c: In function `fddi_type_trans':
fddi.c:135: `ETH_P_8022' undeclared (first use this function)
fddi.c:135: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fddi.c:135: for each function it appears in.)
fddi.c:123: warning: `type might be user uninitialized in this function
make[3]: *** [fddi.o] Error 1
----
After which point kernel compilation halts. I don't have our controller
as of yet, so this isn't as important as it could be. It appears that,
obviously, something isn't declared correctly. Did something get altered
in the networking code that just hasn't been fixed in the fddi support
code yet? Any pointers on this? I've not tried an earlier kernel as of
yet, but I'm about to start trying. =)
