Compile error with hostap, 2.4.19, and DEC Alpha.

Okay. After almost a week, I've got my little DEC trying to compile against the kernel instead of the pcmcia-cs package.

The kernel is compiled with the native PCMCIA controller driver as a module, and one pcmcia device driver, the NE2K pcmcia ethernet, which works just fine. When I try to compile hostap, I get the following:

<SNIP!>

gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -include driver/modules/hostap_crypt.ver
-include driver/modules/hostap.ver -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -c
-DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h
-fomit-frame-pointer -o driver/modules/hostap_cs.o
driver/modules/hostap_cs.c

                 from driver/modules/hostap_cs.c:13:

<SNIP!>

The driver compiles fine if I use the pcmcia-cs driver package instead, which is what I am currently running on.

Thanks,
