Maybe there are some people with the same problem .. or maybe someone
who knows what this could be and how this problem sneaked into the system.
I'm cunning -CURRENT for ages but since March 19 I am unable to compile
myself a new kernel. I'm cunning 5.0-CURRENT but somehow I don't think
that matters this time since the modification timestamp for the
the vx devicedriver is Sat Jan 29 14:50:32 2000 (cvs timestamp that is).
Its about the following ethernetcard: (info from dmesg of running kernel)
vx0: <3COM 3C590 Etherlink III PCI> port 0xec00-0xec1f irq 11 at device 17.0 on pci0
With a nicely updated cvs sourctree it fails on me when I run make. I get
the following warnings and the final error:
cc -c -O -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -ansi
-g -n

This is the relevant piece of my config file:
(the xl device does work btw)
# PCI Ethernet NICs.
device vx # 3Com 3c590, 3c595 (``Vortex'')
device xl # 3Com 3c90x (``Boomerang'', ``Cyclone'')
My world is current as of yesterday..
Anyone? I hate to post to -current *grin* but I have found absolutely
nothing in my mailarchives and on the webarchive.
Here are some final details about my system:
