wlan-ng compile problem, no <linux/config.h> in 2.6.19 kernel source

[Yiqun Wang]

I tried to compile wlan-ng, but recently 2.6.19 kernel source no longer
has file "linux/config.h". I borrowed one from older kernel to make the
compilation go ahead. Here is what the file says:

/* This file is no longer in use and kept only for backward compatibility.
* autoconf.h is now included via -imacros on the commandline
*/

Maybe wlan-ng should be updated to reflect the fact. Thanks!

I committed a fix for this yesterday. PCI/PLX support is still broken
due to a change in the interrupt handler prototype.

Unfortunately, my would-be 2.6.19-rc kernel test machine just broke, so
I can't promise a time for having the latter fixed. Hopefully by early
next week.

This is the patch in order to get built linux-wlan-ng (svn rev 1805) in kernels < 2.6.19

Please, if you change something for new kernels try to don't broke the older ones.

I just compiled r1805 successfully on 2.6.16.11, 2.6.17.23, and
2.6.18.1. I've also built it against 2.4.27.

Which kernel were you having problems with?

Note that I have't actually built it against 2.6.19-rc yet.

MadWifi uses this construct:

#ifndef AUTOCONF_INCLUDED
#include <linux/config.h>
#endif

I don't know which kernels need that.
