Ubuntu 12.04 patched b43 driver compilation error
- by Zed
I tried this How do I install this patched b43 driver? guide to install patched b43 driver on Ubuntu 12.04 with 3.2.0-31-generic kernel but I can't pass compilation phase.Here is what I did:
wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.1/compat-wireless-3.1.1-1.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-3.1.1-1/
scripts/driver-select b43
make

To fix that error I added #include <linux/kconfig.h> to /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-31-generic/include/linux/netdevice.h but now I'm getting something else
