Bug#464407: rt73-source: compile fails if using make-kpkg

[Lee Garrett]

Package: rt73-source
Version: 1:1.0.3.6-cvs20071123-dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Hi there,

using make-kpkg to build a the rt73 modules doesn't work. See below for details.
Note that I'm trying to compile the modules for a kernel different than the
running one. Building other out-of-tree modules works with this method, so I
don't there is a PEBKAC error here. :)

My guess is that debian/rules ignores the variables KSRC and KVERS, but I
didn't dig too far on that.

Feel free to ask me any questions or hint me in the right direction.

Kind regards,
Lee Garrett
