[Bug 1342703] Re: Backports doesn't compile against 3.13.0-30

The task "linux (Ubuntu)" has expired because it has had no new comments
or updates for more than three years.

If this issue is still present in an Ubuntu LTS kernel still under
active support, please reopen the bug and provide updated details. If
this issue was reported against an Ubuntu kernel no longer under active
support but the issue still exists in a currently supported Ubuntu
kernel, please open a new bug against that kernel version and provide
the updated details, with a reference link to the original bug.

This action was performed by an automated process maintained by the
Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Title:
Backports doesn't compile against 3.13.0-30

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired

Bug description:
I attempted to compile backports-20140616 from here:
http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ I was
attemting to propose a solution for a poster on ubuntuforums.org by
installing a possibly updated rtl8192ce driver. My usual process is to
compile the driver myself through the 'make' step so as to demonstrate
that the method I propose works.

For reference, here is the original thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226009

In my Ubuntu 14.04 system using kernel version 3.13.0-30-generic, the
compile ends in many errors; please see attachment.

On a whim, I booted into kernel 3.13.0-24-generic and the package
compiles with four warnings:

/home/chili/Downloads/backports-20140616/net/mac80211/iface.c:1099:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
.ndo_select_queue = ieee80211_netdev_select_queue,
^
/home/chili/Downloads/backports-20140616/net/mac80211/iface.c:1099:2: warning: (near initialization for 'ieee80211_dataif_ops.ndo_select_queue') [enabled by default]
/home/chili/Downloads/backports-20140616/net/mac80211/iface.c:1141:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
.ndo_select_queue = ieee80211_monitor_select_queue,
^
/home/chili/Downloads/backports-20140616/net/mac80211/iface.c:1141:2: warning: (near initialization for 'ieee80211_monitorif_ops.ndo_select_queue') [enabled by default]

But then continues to the end without error. The expected driver is
built.

Something has evidently changed between kernel versions that makes
compilation of these packages fail. As the backports suite is often
helpful to solve networking driver problems, it is important the the
package be able to be compiled correctly.

If you require further information or this should be posted elsewhere,
please feel free to advise me.
