What is this? Including ethtool.h from wireless.h... I haven't seen that
in kernel.org tree, so that is probably something Red Hat specific.

Well, I should not really be including kernel header files to user
space, but linux/wireless.h is something that is really needed.. It
might be useful to get it from something else like C library etc. at
some point, but for now, it is going to come from the kernel.

You might try moving '#include "util.h"' line in prism2_srec.c before
'#include <linux/wireless.h>' to fix this. util.h will end up defining
that u32, so it might be enough. I do not have (and I do not indent to
get ;-) Red Hat kernel tree, so I have not tested this.
