I downloaded  a bluetooth module today (btsco.41.tgz)
I am getting an error on line 88 when compiling  and trying to figure 
out why???
I have compared it to alsa-driver code and it looks good to me.

here is the source snippit:
----------------- the following line is line 86 ---------------
static int index[SNDRV_CARDS] = {[0 ... (SNDRV_CARDS - 1)] = -2};

module_param_array(index, int, NULL, 0444);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(index, "Index value for Bluetooth SCO Headset 
Soundcard.");

-------------------------------------------------------------------

below is the compile output.

[root at geisjdell kernel]#
[root at geisjdell kernel]# make

Any idea on what to do with this?  Most everything else I download compiles.
I am using a fully up2date centos 4.2 system.

Thanks for any suggestions...

Jerry
