made the all too fatal yet all to common mistake of updating to slackware current fully and lost the ability to compile some of my favorite (virtualbox) and most used (ndiswrapper) software due too stricter code residing in the kernel. so all that aside, i HAVE to use ndiswrapper with mylow power lp-phy usb-like mini pci card…it sucks in short.
so with ndiswrapper not compiling i was giving up hope until i found this post –> read through to the last post by slh.. in it he shows a patch fix (which is pretty striaght forward to apply manually) and i have included below:
fix C syntax error and field name in conditional netdev ops struct,
triggering on kernel >= 2.6.29 and CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER=y.
