If you're going to do this, do it *right* and chase down where all these variables are defined and nail them down to a size_t *there* so you can get rid of most of these casts - plus potentially find *other* places they're playing fast and loose with the types.

You're right. I tried first to use the struct that is used to declare pstrWFIDrv, but as it needed a lot of code refactoring I switched to find an easier path, but that's not as elegant and clean.

Umm.. this isn't for a brain-dead card that has to have its addresses down in the the first 4G of memory, is it? Or was the driver author stuck on a 32-bit kernel?

Actually, that's what I wondered also! With further researchs, I just ended up finding those patches in the linux-wireless mailing list: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg138655.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg138656.html These patches are not integrated with Greg's staging tree yet it seems. That's probably why I missed them at first... They however seem more clean than mine.
