Hello,
I'm having problems with the symbols from the cfg80211 module provided by
the "'''mac80211'''" kernel package.
I could see that this package compiles the module from the "'''compat-
wireless'''" repository, and for some reason some symbols are not included
there.
So, from a context like:
{{{
#> lsmod
...
cfg80211 248833 1 mac80211
...
mac80211 403255 0
...
}}}
I execute the command:
{{{
#> modprobe 8188eu
}}}
And the dmesg shows:
{{{
#> dmesg
...
[ 683.768100] 8188eu: Unknown symbol cfg80211_inform_bss_width_frame (err
0)
[ 683.776693] 8188eu: Unknown symbol wiphy_new (err 0)
[ 683.783725] 8188eu: Unknown symbol cfg80211_del_sta (err 0)
}}}
To check the source of the problem I removed the cfg80211 and compile it
by myself '''from the Kernel sources'''.
The result: All perfect and functional. So the problem seems to reside
inside the "compat-wireless" sources.
The problem with this new cfg80211 driver is that you loose all the other
driver packages that openwrt offers and some network configuration scripts
fail and thus some nice automatized functionalities.
PD: I attached the packages I've used to compile both the driver and the
mac80211 from kernel.
