WPA Supplicant-0.5.8 compilation Issues

[maloomnahi at indiatimes.com]

Hi,

I am compiling the wpa_supplicant-0.5.8 with madwfi-0.9.3.1 driver on a linux machine with TPLINK PCI AR5212 card. Following are the errors received after setting the .config and Makefile as per README and this website forum.

In file included from /usr/include/linux/socket.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/linux/if.h:23,
                 from /root/Srini/madwifi-0.9.3.1/net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h:508,
                 from driver_madwifi.c:35:

/usr/include/linux/if.h:153: error: redefinition of ?struct ifreq?
/usr/include/linux/if.h:203: error: redefinition of ?struct ifconf?

Is this a norm or I am msising any settings? Since the errors on system header files I am bit skeptical of changing anything as of now. What is your recommendation / solution for the same?

Thanks in advance
