Subject: [lwlan-user] Warning for Mandrake Users: module conflicts


After a lot of wasted effort trying to get linux-wlan-ng-0.1.16-pre5
running with a Mandrake 2.4.18 kernel,  I discovered that Mandrake
included a set of now-obsolete wlan_ng modules
under/lib/modules/2.4.18-8.2mdk/kernel/3rdparty,  and that these were
being loaded in preference to the newly-compiled ones.  

I moved the contents of the p80211, prism2_pci, prism2_plx, and
prism2_usb subdirectories to a temporary hiding place (I just created a
/root/hide directory),  on the off chance that I might need them later. 
It should be
safe to just rm them,  but I'm not sure that the RPM manglers won't
someday
throw a hissy fit if they can't find everything they installed.  Disk
space
is cheap,  so I played it safe  ;-)

Then I ran a depmod -a,  and now the right modules are being loaded.

Ran
