[OpenWrt-Users] compat-wireless package breaks, genlmsg_cancel() tries to return value

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm trying to build with a 2.6.26 kernel, and the build fails trying
to build the compat-wireless package, specifically in the source file
compat-wireless-2008-05-26/net/wireless/nl80211.c, at four different
locations, all identical:

/home/rpjday/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/linux-brcm47xx/compat-wireless-2008-05-26/net/wireless/nl80211.c:

  the error is:

return genlmsg_cancel(msg, hdr);

  which is wrong since that routine is now declared as returning void
in linux/2.6.26/net/genetlink.h:

static inline void genlmsg_cancel(struct sk_buff *skb, void *hdr)
