Compilation of Realtek r8169-6.010.00 fails on 2.6.30

Compilation of Realtek r8169-6.010.00 fails on 2.6.30

[Torsten Mueller]

Hello,

i have problems compiling the driver for this card.
I want to test this driver to check, if it gives more
bandwidth in a gigabit network against the stock 2.6.30
vanilla kernel driver.

Can you lead me to a solution for this compilation problem ?

Thanks,
Torsten

Check your LINUX_VERSION_CODE and analyze the output of

$ git log -p -- drivers/net/r8169.c | less +/netif_rx_schedule_prep

Do you have specific problems with the kernel included r8169 driver ?

The one in 2.6.30 should not be too bad (as long as your chipset
is supported of course).
