Need Help compiling module

[mwhit95]

I downloaded source to build a module for my Ralink wireless card.  I read the readme file and it said  to rename the makefile.  Next I ran make all but got an error about CFLAGS should be EXTRA_CFLAGS so I fixed that in the makefile.  I run make all again and this is what I got:

Is there another extension needed?

Thanks

Do you have 'linux-headers-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz' installed/mounted?  I need that when I build for my TI ACX-based WiFi adapter or the ralink chipset in the ASUS EeePC.

no the problem is after some kernel things changed so a patch is needed
changing net_dev->priv to netdev_priv(dev) is one of them

I did have the kernel header files mounted.  From reading the link by Arsian, it sounds like the source code was wrote for older kernels.  Maybe I need to search ralink's web page  for something newer.  Thanks for the help.

interesting thing is that driver is released on 23 January 2009

It took me a while to get this working and I never did get the module to compile but I didn't need to.  I should have done a lsmod and I would have seen it had loaded rt61pci.  The missing file that ifconfig was complaining about was the .dat or .bin files.  All I had to do was make the /lib/firmware directory and sudo cp *.bin rt61sta.dat /lib/firmware/ from the driver package.
