Lerned about module-assistant, but same there.

[Ritesh Sinha (ritesh-kumar-sinha)]

I'm unable to build the qc-usb module as well:

<code> Linux ritesh-laptop 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 19 01:12:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux </code>

<code> # m-a a-i qc-usb </code>

If there is any other information required, I'd be happy to provide it.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Martín Ferrari (tincho)]

The patch in #706321 solves this issue for kernels < 2.6.38. I am working on fixing that one too and will later upload to debian. You probably want to do the same.
