[ILUG] Kernel Panic

[Michael Watterson]

I have the Linux source for drivers for Ireland's new 4G network 
launching soon. Unlike 3G/HSDPA /Edge/GPRS it is pure IP, adsl type 
latency though ping does go up to 3G latency for one packet on base 
station handovers.

I want to build it for Fedora, Ubuntu, etc  and Elf3 handheld from 
Inhand and GP2X from Gamepark Holdings.

However the source was last built I think on RH enterprise with a 2.6.9 
kernel and won't compile on anything I try. I've tried Fedora Core6, 
CentOS, Debian 2.4 and Hoary Hedgehog.  The pre-built ft1000.ko module 
won't load on anything (wrong kernel error).

If anyone interested in this project I might be able to provide suitable 
compensation :-)

I've some programming experience but none building Kernel Modules. They 
seem to have changed the struct for the net_device in network.h around 
2.6.13, is that possible?

The source is available.  On Windows XP, the PCMCIA modem has no 
configuration at all, simply looks like a 10Mbps ethernet NIC in SW. No 
dialup connection, passwords, keys, SIMs or anything like that needed. 
USB and PC express card modems  will be  available a few months after  
launch.  I expect  this  will  be cheaper and faster than 3G/HSDPA 
packages from what I've seen and heard. Obviously before launch that 
can't be known.
