Re: [pwc] Any update on 2.6.18?

[Peter Baitz <>]

Hello,

I am now using Fedora Core6 kernel
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586 and the pwc.ko which comes with
it is only 95kb approx. no where near the 640kb size
of previous pwc compiles I have done.  How can this be
the same pwc driver?

I am also getting this error if I try to compile it on
FC6 (and I made the corrections to pwc_ioctl.h posted
up here on the group where you extend the comment
around the typedef statement):

  pwc-v4l2-20061105-042701]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/source

Please advise???
