[linux-dvb] Re: <FIXED> error: union has no member named `ethernet'(2.6.9-rc3-bk8)

[Patrick Keane <patrick.keane@btinternet.com>]

Hi

I have just tried to compile the cvs dvb-kernel with the new 2.6.9 
RELEASE version kernel.

I am still getting the same error as below in dvb_net.

Please can you tell me whether C.Y.M's patch below will work against the 
new 2.6.9 release ??

Or is there a new patch against 2.6.9 ??

If so, is there a copy of the patch anywhere I can pull down with either 
cvs or lynx?  The Myth box I am trying to construct has no simple way of 
 connecting to mail lists - just thought - I could get it from the dvb 
list srchive with lynx I suppose!!

regards

Patrick
