RT73 make problem with kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6-i686


I have updated my kernel to the latest and same with my kernel-devel. They are the same. When I type in the make command, this is what I get in response:


[root@localhost Module]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2933.fc6/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2933.fc6-i686'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2933.fc6-i686'
make: *** [all] Error 2




I have also installed the latest gcc updates and installed the compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++ and that was after I got this the first time.


Can someone pleas help me?? I got it to work in the 2.6.18 kernel but no luck in this one

Clearly, from the message, the referenced structure has been changed. (I noticed that my signal strength values were correctly reported -- for the first time -- with the 2.6.20 kernel, so there have been changes made in the wireless area.)

You should check with the driver supplier to see if they have an updated version. If not, hack the code so it uses the new "correct" structure values, which can be found in the kernel header files.

(And I have no idea why an STA driver even references the wireless stats.)
