[Bug 1023645] Re: ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1: ndiswrapper kernel module failed to build [error: ‘struct kernel_stat’ has no member named ‘cpustat’]

[Thorsteinn A. Malmjursson]

Thanks for the update on status, Dave - if it helps, I've noticed
something.  I have a kernel on here, 3.8.0-2-generic, and i've got
others up to 3.8.0-9-generic - there appears to be something going wrong
with one of the macros inside the code.  I've tried to build ndiswrapper
from scratch, and get an error about ntoskernel.h, line 215, character
48 - informing me that INIT_WORK was passed 3 variables, but only takes
2.

I've examined that portion of the code, and it's not kernel limited,
despite the fact that it's means as backwards compat, pre 2.6.20.  I've
tried to exclude it, and that's failed too - so i'm lost, bearing in
mind i don't code much - and i'm not very good when I do.

The latest try I had at updating managed to get it to build as far as
ndis.o, when it fails again.  The results are in my attachment to this
comment - enjoy :)
