Hi

I have a Dell Vostro M1500 laptop with Intel 3945 chipset running opensuse 11.0

Trying to install compat-wireless drivers but gives an error when running make command. the error is

/root/software/compat-wireless-2008-06-29/config.mk:48: "WARNING: You are running a kernel >= 2.6.23, you should enable in it CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE for 802.11[ne] support"

and goes on to end as

root/software/compat-wireless-2008-06-29/drivers/net/wireless/b43/rfkill.c:91: error: ‘RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED’ undeclared (first use in this function)

You should post your message to linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org. That
way the compat-wireless people will see it.

*** Problem Resolved ***

Seems to have gone away with todays build (1st July).

and the warning 2.6.23, about CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE is a mere warning…Accroding to compat-drivers mailing list this can be ignored.
