Compile issues for Fedora 8 kernel-2.6.24.2-7.fc8.x86_64.
For a successful compile, I had to
Add to ieee80211_sta.c
#define CONFIG_MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG 1
Add to compat-wireless-2.6/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.h
static inline void le32_add_cpu(__le32 *var, u32 val)
{
*var = cpu_to_le32(le32_to_cpu(*var) + val);
}
The first looks like a compatibility fix.
A recent kernel patch has moved byteorder definitions such as this one
from /usr/src/kernels/2.6.24.2-7.fc8-x86_64/fs/ocfs2/endian.h (missing
in Fedora kernels)
to /usr/include/linux/byteorder/generic.h (in Fedora kernels)
But this patch has not made it to Fedora 8 and 9 kernels.

Thanks for reporting this. The changes you mentioned come from the patch:
commit 8b5f6883683c91ad7e1af32b7ceeb604d68e2865
Author: Marcin Slusarz <[email protected]>
Date: Fri Feb 8 04:20:12 2008 -0800
Since it changes core headers around and ports ext3 and XFS
filesystems to it this won't go into 2.6.24 instead its been picked up
by the 2.6.25 series. I've ported over the changes as follows and
pushed a new compat-wireless tarball. Please test and let me know how
it goes.
commit d0a3153c24dd7181b6cd22c47342279443472d0a

Port over new le32_add_cpu & friends changes from OCFS2 to core move.
The patch:
commit 8b5f6883683c91ad7e1af32b7ceeb604d68e2865
Author: Marcin Slusarz <[email protected]>
Date: Fri Feb 8 04:20:12 2008 -0800
byteorder: move le32_add_cpu & friends from OCFS2 to core
moves le*_add_cpu and be*_add_cpu functions from OCFS2 to core
header and converted some existing code to it. We port
it here as later kernels will most likely use it.
Thanks to Bill Moss <[email protected]> for reporting this.
