hello,
i’ve tried to compile compat-wireless but i get this error several times when compiling:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.7-9/include/linux/module.h:464: warning: ‘struct tracepoint_iter’ declared inside parameter list
/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.7-9/include/linux/module.h:464: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want

the compile finishes but when booting i get these messages:

at this point the module does not load (ath5k). i have kernel 2.6.27.45-0.1-pae and have tried updating the kernel to 2.6.27.48-0.3-pae and have even downgraded to the released version of the kernel which is 2.6.27.7-9.1-pae along with the sources, and syms.
now, if i try to download the built rpm from
Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_11.1/i586
i am asked to downgrade to kernel 2.6.27.7-9.1-pae

can anyone help?

thanx in advance

Try out it:

Download - Linux Wireless

PS: Please, give a try to OpenSUSE 11.3 or 11.2, there’s a big advantage on wireless issues!!

Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless

See the Repos ending on “update”?

@alexdbars

that’s exactly what i’ve been doing. my question is: why is it not compiling correctly?

@ akoellh
ok that worked and wireless is up.
i’m also trying to run aircrack-ng but when putting the interface in monitor mode (airmon-ng start wlan0 8) i get this error:

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Atheros ath5k - [phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error

                            (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

and this one in the messages file:
Oct 5 08:16:47 suse2111 kernel: ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
Oct 5 08:16:47 suse2111 kernel: ath5k phy0: can’t reset hardware (-5)
Oct 5 08:16:47 suse2111 kernel: ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
Oct 5 08:16:47 suse2111 kernel: ath5k phy0: can’t reset hardware (-5)

at this point, my adapter is unresponsive and only a reboot will bring the interface up again. this particular behavior did not happen when using the ath5k version that comes with the kernel. any clues would be appreciated.
