Hi!

I hope this is the right place to report this. If not, I would appreciate 
directions to the correct mailing list. In that case, sorry for spamming! :-)

I'm getting an error when compiling the ath9k driver in 
compat-wireless-2010-04-11. The version 2010-04-04 compiles fine after fixing a 
simple

First I do:

./scripts/driver-select ath9k

The I run "make", and after some time I get the following:

   CC [M]  /home/tmac/src/compat-wireless-2010-04-11/net/mac80211/main.o
/home/tmac/src/compat-wireless-2010-04-11/net/mac80211/main.c: In function 
‘ieee80211_alloc_hw’:

implicit declaration of function ‘__hw_addr_init’
make[5]: *** [/home/tmac/src/compat-wireless-2010-04-11/net/mac80211/main.o] Error 1

make[3]: *** [_module_/home/tmac/src/compat-wireless-2010-04-11] Error 2
make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2


I want to try the newest driver because I have a lot of dropout problems when 
using my "Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter 
(PCI-Express) (rev 01)"

gcc (Debian 4.4.3-7) 4.4.3

Best regards

What kernel version are you on?

Hi Luis!

tmac@asus ~$ uname -a
Linux asus 2.6.32-3-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 24 18:07:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It is from the Debian package linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64, with Debian version 
number 2.6.32-9. At the same time I have the corresponding kernel header 
packages installed:

linux-headers-2.6.32-3-common (Debian version 2.6.32-9)
linux-headers-2.6.32-3-amd64 (Debian version 2.6.32-9)

OK so I checked this and the problems is these two patches on linux-next:


commit 2f787b0b76bf5de2eaa3ca3a29d89123ae03c856
Author: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明 <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>
Date:   Sun Apr 4 17:59:30 2010 +0000

    mac80211: Ensure initializing private mc_list in prepare_multicast().

    Fix kernel panic by NULL pointer dereference in the context of
    ieee80211_ops->prepare_multicast().

    This bug was introduced by commit 22bedad3c.. ("net: convert
    multicast list to list_head").

    Call __hw_addr_init() in ieee80211_alloc_hw() to initialize
    list_head of private device multicast list, like we do in
    bond_init().

    net: convert multicast list to list_head

    Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same
as uc_list.

    +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
     variant) instead of a function parameter.
    +removes dev_mcast.c completely.
    +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
     manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers)

I don't have time to address this at the moment but reverting it
should do it for you for now. I welcome someone else's patch if they
get to it first.
