test12-pre8 ohci1394.c compile error

[Frank Davis]

Hello,
   I also received this error:

ohci1394.c:1588: structure has no member named 'next'
make[2]:*** [ohci1394.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/drivers/ieee1394'
...
Its the same case with drivers/i2o/i2o_lan.c

I suspect there are more. Is there a simple patch that will fix all affected drivers?

Regards,
Frank

yah there are a lot. ive posted a couple of patches already.

the problem is because the task queue was changed (yes, this late in 2.4)
to a newer better design, and drivers have not been redone for the new
implementation. so, there is no simple patch, and we need to fix all
these.

patches like you did for i2o are what we need. basically its just changing
to the new macros/member names.

Working on it. I _need_ pre8, because of some critical fixes in
it.

Whoever changed this interface without fixing _all_ the offending

Sorry, but this had to be said ;-)

But heh, we all make mistakes sometimes.
