Hello,

Sorry if this is the wrong list.  I get the following when compiling
linux 2.4.11:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.11/include -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer 
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 
-DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include 
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.11/include/linux/modversions.h   -c -o at1700.o 
at1700.c
at1700.c:475: conflicting types for `read_eeprom'
at1700.c:161: previous declaration of `read_eeprom'
make[2]: *** [at1700.o] Error 1

The driver is written by Donald Becker, but I didn't think that he
maintained it any longer: it's copyrighted 1993-98.  I don't use the
driver myself, but came across it when compiling a module, so I
thought I had better report it.

Regards,
Roger
