Sorry Confused. I'm building from the latest 3.6 kernel from git in
order to be able to submit patches. Well if I get that far. I'm
running the built on my netbook but I'm having problems building my
wifi drivers against the 3.6.0 kernel. Basically I've got an error:<br>
<br>
<font color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2"><font
color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2">error:
'struct net_device' has no member named 'wireless_handlers' <br>
</font></font><br>
Which is fair enough if you look in the kernel source
include/linux/netdevice.h there's a "'#ifdef CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT" <br>
<br>
So this is easy all I have to do is enable that switch and rebuild
the kernel. You might not believe it but that's were I come unstuck.
I did a search in "make menuconfig" for that switch and it does
provide some info but normally when I do a search the help tells me
where to find it. (Which is a God send.) So searching for it is
finding it but not giving me suitable help on where it is in the
menu structure.<br>
<br>
I then decided that I'd search for it in the .config file. Can't
find it in there either.<br>
<br>
This is a mailing list for newbies and I know this is a stupid
question but can anybody advise me on where that switch is in make
menuconfig? <br>
<br>
I did find this page out there but that's pointing at Kconfig in
source code not where it is in the menus:<br>
