Anyone have any luck compiling ndiswrapper using the 2.6.13 kernel?

Have had no problems compiling ndiswrapper 1.2 in either Slackware, Vector, Zenwalk, or Arch using 2.6.12.5 kernel or earlier 2.6 kernels.

Get the following errors during the "make" portion of compiling ndiswrapper 1.2:

/root/ndiswrapper-1.2/driver/wrapper.c:287:47: error: macro "halt" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0

Have scrutinized my .config file that I used to compile the 2.6.13 kernel without seeing anything obvious that I neglected. Everything in the network support and device driver areas are identical.

P.S. For a test, I had just did a quick compile of ndiswrapper 1.2, when booted using the 2.6.12.5 kernel, then restarted on 2.6.13 kernel, tried another compile of ndiswrapper, and duplicated the same errors, so I know everything in my system is fine.
Have tried this in Slackware 10.1 current & Arch 0.7. Both have the 2.6.13-mm1 kernel running reiser4. Same error in both OS's during the compile.

I have built and run ndiswrapper 1.1 on 2.6.13. I have not tried 1.2 since 2.6.12 as it hangs my laptop on shutdown.

Do the links /lib/modules/2.6.13/build and /lib/modules/2.6.13/source point to your Linux 2.6.13 source tree? Did you run "make modules_install" after building the kernel?

Hey there! Come over and join forces in this thread (same problem).

The 2.6.13 kernel has a new version of wireless tools that isn't supported by the rest of the system. I could get ndiswrapper to compile against a 2.6.13 kernel, but it didn't work. Personally, I'm going to stick with a 2.6.11 kernel until things get a bit more sorted out.

When I tried to test kernel version 2.6.14-rc1, that same error bit me. I posted on the only ndiswrapper forum I could find, but no one answers. I downloaded the CVS version of ndiswrapper (1.3rc1) and it compiled OK. It works on 2.6.13, but no connection on the new kernel; however, I think that is a bug in the kernel.

For 2.6.13, I recommend ndiswrapper 1.3rc1.

The following patch fixes the "halt" takes 0 arguments error and lets ndiswrapper-1.3rc1 compile on 2.6.14-rc1:
