[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Linux kernel source code

Hello,

Just a minor addition. The kernel source 2.6.16 does not contain the WLAN 
driver (cx3110x) so you have to fetch the code for WLAN from 
	https://garage.maemo.org/projects/cx3110x/ 
By the way, is this announced somewhere?

But at least for me the code does not compile correctly, I get the following 
error:
-----
/scratchbox/compilers/cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm/bin/sbox-arm-linux-ld: ERROR: 
Source object /home/user/cx3110x/umac_arm9.lib has EABI 
version 0, but target /home/user/cx3110x/umac.o has EABI version 4
----

Maybe the proprietary part of the driver is compiled with the old version?

Cheers,

	Kimmo
