However, compat-wireless is no longer compiling with this kernel: /home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c: In function 'iwl_led_brightness_set': /home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198: error: 'led_type_str' undeclared (first use in this function) /home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198: error: for each function it appears in.) And note that without using compat-wireless, my wifi LED is back on but I'm still connecting in 802.11g mode. Best regards, Chris.
