hostap-driver-0.3.9 compilation error on 2.4.19 kernel

Mon Aug 8 07:51:27 PDT 2005

Thanks for the reply.

Since the 2.4.19-rmk6 kernel is the most recent for the  iPAQ h3900, I decided
to try hostap-driver-0.2.6.  However, I still get the same error messages:

Is it possible that the hostap-driver-0.2.6 is also incompatible with kernel
version 2.4.19-rmk6?  If so, what version should I use?
