what can be the Problem

it seem you need this svn.digium.com/view/dahdi/linux/ … threv=5056

Thanks for this hint, but it still will not compile

the OS is a

This is the key line:

/dahdi/dahdi_dynamic_eth.c:104: error: too many arguments to function âskb_linearizeâ

If you look here: http://lwn.net/Articles/2.6-kernel-api/, you’ll see the API changes in version 2.6.18. Here’s an excerpt:

My guess is that Novell updated certain parts of the API but did not change the version number.

Here is a suggested fix…

Find dahdi_dynamic_eth.c:

find -name 'dahdi_dynamic_eth.c'

In our case, it was here: /usr/src/dahdi-linux-2.1.0.3/drivers/dahdi/dahdi_dynamic_eth.c

Open the file in your editor of choice.

Change the following:

if (span) { skb_pull(skb, sizeof(struct ztdeth_header)); #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,18) skb_linearize(skb); #else skb_linearize(skb, GFP_KERNEL); #endif dahdi_dynamic_receive(span, (unsigned char *)skb->data, skb->len); }

to this:

if (span) { skb_pull(skb, sizeof(struct ztdeth_header)); skb_linearize(skb); dahdi_dynamic_receive(span, (unsigned char *)skb->data, skb->len); }

Save the file and recompile DAHDI.
