Comment 9 for bug 973241

some compile errors with that patch. drvinfo.driver is a char[32] and brackets are mismatched.

wifi-utils.c: In function 'wifi_utils_init':
wifi-utils.c:76:17: error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'char[32]' from type 'void *'
wifi-utils.c:85:3: error: expected ')' before 'ret'
wifi-utils.c:95:1: error: expected expression before '}' token

the unbalanced brackets at 85

i've made some changes so it compiles, but im not 100% sure if it's correct (I'm a bit under the weather at the moment).

revised patch to test
