GobiSerial Compile Errors

IoT Modules MC/EM Series
1

Hi,

I have an embedded linux system running 2.6.24 kernel. When I try and compile the GobiSerial drivers for the MC7304 modem I get the following errors. Can someone please advise? It appears this driver was written to handle legacy kernels.

Thanks!

I have found that the usb_serial structure in “include/linux/usb/serial.h” does in fact have these missing members in the errors above. I am not sure why this would be though. It is almost as if this driver was made to not support 2.6.24 version kernels even though it says it does. Anyone have any suggestions or input?

After downloading linux kernel 2.6.25 I see that these missing struct members were added in this release. Does this mean that 2.6.24 is in fact not supported in GobiSerial.c?
