Hello everyone,
i'm currently trying to port an old (2006) driver for an PCI ADSL modem (Bewan ADSL PCI ST, lspci : "ATM network controller: STMicroelectronics ST70137 [Unicorn] ADSL DMT Transceiver (rev 10)") to the latest kernel linux-3.6.10-1-ARCH (on x86_64),
here's the original driver : http://unifiedlinux.com/A1012-A1006-A90 … -0.9.3.tgz, or : http://fichiers.touslesdrivers.com/1221 … -0.9.3.tgz,
i think i did everything right on unicorn_pci/unicorn_pcidrv.c (the PCI driver/kernel module), i'm not getting any errors when compiling, only warnings; however i can't test it yet (see below), here's a patch with my modifications (apply it to the original unicorn_pcidrv.c) : http://unifiedlinux.com/unicorn_pcidrv.patch (or get the complete file here http://unifiedlinux.com/unicorn_pcidrv.c ),
but now there's another file, msw/linrapi.c (don't know what it does it looks like some software to handle the ATM stuff) which uses "kernel locks" like "lock_kernel()" and "unlock_kernel()", i've read that kernel locks are deprecated and we should use "mutex" instead, however i'm a beginner at programming and i don't really know how to do that (it doesn't look like a slight syntax change but rather a complete rewrite of the source code), here's a patch of what i've done so far (apply it to the original linrapi.c) : http://unifiedlinux.com/linrapi.patch (or get the complete file here http://unifiedlinux.com/linrapi.c ) and here are the errors i get when i do "make modules" :
for i in libm unicorn_pci ; do make -C $i modules MODDIR=/root/unicorn/$i ; done

as you can see, linrapi.c still has some problems and i don't know how to fix that, can anyone help me please ?
Thanks and have a nice day.
