[tulip] Error building Tulip driver on Mandrake 9 : 'tulip.c:3249: `NETIF_MSG_RXFILTER' undeclared (first use in this function)'

[Peter McClure]

More debugging of the source code.  It never occurred to me (until now) that
there might be #if in the header files.  Dumb.

>From kern_compat.h

#if !defined(HAVE_NETIF_MSG)
enum {
.
.
.
        NETIF_MSG_RXFILTER      = 0x10000,
};
#endif

Okayyyy.  Sooo,

[peter@lin133 netdrivers-3.1]$ grep HAVE_NETIF_MSG
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/*h
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdksecure/build/include/linux/netdevice.h:#define
HAVE_NETIF_MSG 1
[peter@lin133 netdrivers-3.1]$ grep NETIF_MSG_RXFILTER
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/*h
[peter@lin133 netdrivers-3.1]$


OK.  So Mandrake claim to have NETIF_MSG and do - except for the one that we
need.  I added

enum {
        NETIF_MSG_RXFILTER      = 0x10000
};

to kern_compat.h


I then tried to rebuild the module and I get :-

[root@lin133 netdrivers-3.1]# make tulip.o
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I/lib/modules/2.4.1
9-16mdksecure/build/include -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DMODVERSIONS   -c -o
tulip.o tulip.c
tulip.c: In function `set_rx_mode':

Any suggestions ?
