Package: bcm43xx-source
Version: 20060212-3
Severity: normal
This may be the same bug as 353996, but I found that report so confusing
I really wasn't sure. This may also be a case of operator error, but I'm
not sure what I've done wrong. Anyway, I followed this procedure in
trying to help bcm43xx modules.
1) tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz
2) configure & compile kernel with make-kpkg.
3) tar xjvf ieee80211softmac.tar.bz2
4) make-kpkg --added-modules ieee80211softmac modules_image
5) dpkg -i ieee80211softmac-headers-2.6.15cavybook1_20060125-2+3.0_all.deb \
ieee80211softmac-modules-2.6.15cavybook1_20060125-2+3.0_powerpc.deb
6) tar xjvf bcm43xx.tar.bz2
7) make-kpkg --added-modules bcm43xx modules_image
At this point it starts to compile, then dies (error messages are shown
below). However, if I copy the contents of
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15cavybook1/include/net
into /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15/include/net, then it compiles just
fine.
Here is the output:
