Question about .ndo_set_multicast_list in kernel 3.2.0-rc3

Show all headers | View raw

I am trying to compile some wireless driver source code that
works OK in kernel 2.6.38-8 to 3.2.0.

There seems to be a change in the  linux-2.6.37.6/include/linux/netdevice.h,
this one has, in struct net_device_ops:
 void            (*ndo_set_multicast_list)(struct net_device *dev)

while this is missing in the kernel 3.2.0.rc3 header.
There seem to be some changes mentioned and referred to as 'extern''.
However a grep in the 3.2.0 source does not find any reference to ndo_set_multicast_list.

So I get a compile error...

Any idea what happened, or how to go around this?
This is not my driver source, and listed as belonging to Broadcom.
I grabbed it from recent Ubuntu, but am compiling in slackware with kernel 3.2.
Without this driver no wireless on this notebook.

I could rewrite the driver, but I could also program the next mars mission.
In both cases crashes are a possibility,

Maybe I should drop multicast, but anyways anybody been playing with wireless in 3.2 ?
