module-assistant fails to compile unicorn-source

[Eduardo Silva]

I'm using module-assistant to compile a driver for the Bewan ADSL PCI USB, which is package unicorn-source.

unicorn version: 0.8.7-1.1

uname -r
2.6.10-5-686

gcc -v
gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)

But a error occurs, and this log is produced:

[Eduardo Silva (jobezone)]

A year has passed since I reported this bug. I can't confirm if it's fixed, but nevertheless I can't confirm if it's not. I'm closing it.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

I can confirm the bug as reported, on Edgy.

[Pascal Vincent (pvincent00)]

On edgy, i think the driver do not compile because driver is outdated (uncompatible with linux kernel version > 2.14)
Since january of 2006, a new upstream driver version (0.9.3) is available at
http://www.bewan.fr/bewan/utilisateurs/telechargement/download.php?id=86
(sorry, it's in french, so i join the downlodable zip file)

There is someone working on this here :
http://rzr.online.fr/wiki.php?Modem.fr
(sorry in french again)
It would be awesome if the driver can be include "by default" in ubuntu kernel to have a plug and play working driver.
At least, it would be cool to have an up to date package.

For information, here is the changelog of the new version:

Version 0.9.3:
- Added support for PCI cards with the 20174 AFE.
- Added PCI modem SW library compiled with -mregparm=3 (modem_ant_PCI_LINUX.o.regparm3).
This library should be used with kernels compiled with -mregparm=3 (Ex: Fedora Core 2).
- Now works for kernel 2.6.14 and newer (skb_unlink parameter change)
- Eliminated a few compiler warnings with gcc 4.
- Modem SW library version 1.9.6.1 not longer included.
- Replace call to "shutdown_atm_dev" with "atm_dev_deregister" (kernel 2.6.15).

[Krzysztof Lichota (krzysiek-launchpad-ubuntu-com)]

Version 0.9.3 does not compile correctly on kernels >= 2.6.20 due to making regparm default in compilation and removing CONFIG_REGPARM directive. I have worked on modified version which is reported to be working in Feisty kernel, if someone is interested.

[ghislain (seven09)]

Hello,
 I am interested by the modifications on unicorn 0.9.3 for the kernel 2.6.20 thank you in advance.

[Krzysztof Lichota (krzysiek-launchpad-ubuntu-com)]

This is the version which compiles on kernel 2.6.20.
It comes from UbuNeo project: http://ubuneo.ubuntu.pl

Please report if it works for you.
BTW. I have never seen such messy driver - linking C++ with C, etc.

[ghislain (seven09)]

Bad luck, i have the pci modem, but thanks for your help.

If you send me output from compilation maybe I could help you fix the
problem.

[ghislain (seven09)]

ok
modification which I used : http://pikachu.2014.free.fr/public/unicorn/unicorn.diff
correct several errors

What i obtain now:

Yep It's me ..
I managed to use this modem on ubuntu dapper ...

now I don't have the modem anymore, but I give you some hints :

gentoo provided some paches and there are some tasks pending at debian ..

Hi,

I've updated this package (new upstream version plus patches)
Now I am doing some test with the version I've uploaded at PPA :
https://launchpad.net/~rzr/+archive

Later

[Philippe Coval (rzr)]

Hi,

I uploaded unicorn-0.9.3 in debian :
  http://packages.qa.debian.org/u/unicorn.html

And this bug will need to be closed once it's synched as requested at :
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unicorn/+bug/182659

BTW, bewan adsl usb st modem users can use this driver on dapper
(Any tests on other configurations is welcome too) :

Fixed: hardy now has 0.9.3-2
