To do so, I downloaded the latest source for Sarge, and successfully compiled the kernel. All other hardware worked, so I compiled the rt2500 module. There were no errors during the compile, but I got these errors when I tried to load the module: # modprobe rt2500 FATAL: Error inserting rt2500 (/lib/modules/2.6.8-ctm/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2500.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) The pertinent lines from dmesg were: rt2500: disagrees about version of symbol per_cpu__softnet_data rt2500: Unknown symbol per_cpu__softnet_data rt2500: disagrees about version of symbol netif_rx rt2500: Unknown symbol netif_rx I contacted the author of the module, and he said to try a stock kernel from kernel.org. I downloaded the 2.6.8 kernel and compiled it successfully. I then compiled the rt2500 module without errors and now I can load the rt2500 module. The author said that something must have changed in the Debian modifications to prevent it from compiling correctly. --------------------------------------- Received: (at 298357-done) by bugs.debian.org; 14 Oct 2005 23:06:57 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 14 16:06:57 2005 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from baikonur.stro.at [213.239.196.228] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.36 1 (Debian)) id 1EQYdd-0001rk-00; Fri, 14 Oct 2005 16:06:57 -0700 Received: from sputnik (stallburg.stro.at [128.131.216.190]) by baikonur.stro.at (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4C5B25C014 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 15 Oct 2005 01:07:01 +0200 (CEST) Received: from max by sputnik with local (Exim 4.52) id 1EQYde-0004St-M5 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sat, 15 Oct 2005 01:06:58 +0200 Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2005 01:06:58 +0200 From: maximilian attems <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bug#298357: kernel built from 2.6.8-13 source won't compile rt2500 driver Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i X-Virus-Scanned: by Amavis (ClamAV) at stro.at Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-6.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00,HAS_BUG_NUMBER autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 On Sun, 06 Mar 2005, Carl T.
