Works fine. However now that Redhat Rawhide contains gcc version 4.1.0 20051207 (Red Hat 4.1.0-0.6) I'm seeing quite a few compile warnings, one in particular appearing in hundreds of lines:
In file included from include/asm/mpspec.h:5, from include/asm/smp.h:18, from include/linux/smp.h:22, from include/linux/sched.h:26, from include/linux/module.h:10, from drivers/net/sky2.c:39: include/asm/mpspec_def.h:78: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'unsigned char[5u]'
There is a patch in the Fedora Core Kernel RPM that 'fixes' this for the FC kernels:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/kernel/linux-2.6-gcc41.patch http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/kernel/linux-2.6-gcc41.patch?rev=1.3&view=markup
Perhaps part or all of it could go into -mm for further testing? Is this a gcc glitch or something that ought to be fixed in the kernel? (davej?)
