Does it compile without the patch ?
No, the 2.6.13 usbatm will not compile within 2.6.11.12 source tree. Even if I copy include/linux/skbuff.h - there's just too many dependencies apparently.

I basically don't know which version of usbatm I need. 2.6.11.12 cannon be patched - it's just too different. Inspecting the code I see different structures, so applying a patch onto it cannot succeed. 15.05.05? It failed already. Just recalled I have 2.6.12.5 kernel at hand - will uncompress it and see if that can be patched + compiled on my 2.6.11.12.

> Have you tried with 2.6.13 or a vanilla kernel ?
I would prefer to use my 2.6.11.12 as it's the only one for which there is grsecurity patch available. grsec for 2.6.13 is still in RC phases + the kernel itself came out just a few days ago. It's all meant to be on a server, so I just don't want to risk.

Thus if I keep to fail... I may just go back to the old eagle-usb - it did work for me out of the box. Although obviously I would really like to get your new driver work, as it's presumably faster + more elegant.

Thanks for your time Matthieu!
