any suggestions
Try these two patches.
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...el_2.6.26.diff
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...el_2.6.27.diff
Once in the madwifi-0.9.4 directory apply them like this:
Then run make.Code:# patch -p1 < madwifi-0.9.4_kernel_2.6.26.diff # patch -p1 < madwifi-0.9.4_kernel_2.6.27.diff
I still had the same error as easycheese13 even after running the patches. running make gives me the same reported errors. If I find the solution I will post it.
The original error from the OP was due to issues in changes in the kernel around 2.6.26. This is an old driver and came out before the kernel was finished. It is advised to use the svn version instead, as that should compile against current kernels.
But if you really want to compile the 0.9.4 version it is best to just download it from madwifi-project.org subversion directory, which contains all of the latest patches.
It compiled fine with gcc-4.2. It also compiled fine for me with gcc-4.3, although there were a couple of warning messages near the end of make command.Code:# svn co http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-0.9.4/ madwifi-ng-0.9.4 # cd madwifi-ng-0.9.4 # apt-get install gcc-4.2 # make CC=gcc-4.2
Re:
I have tried the Following:
# svn co http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwi...madwifi-0.9.4/ madwifi-ng-0.9.4
# cd madwifi-ng-0.9.4
# apt-get install gcc-4.2
# make CC=gcc-4.2
This is the error Im getting!

I've installed Madwifi 0.9.4 and applied DigiNinja's patch and Karma is now working perfectly.
you are absolutely right!!, it must have gotten changed from the Dev version to the Beta by mistake by someone. It will have to be added again.
