When the at76c503a-0.12_beta23 module gets loaded an "Unknown symbol release_firmware" error is raised. This is the first time that I try the net-wireless/at76c503a-0.12_beta23 ebuild. Until now I built the module manually from CVS. The module built from CVS works fine with Linux 2.6.13. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I can confirm this; pretty sure it was a change in 2.6.13-rc6 that made the module unable to compile.
I added a patch for improved kernel-2.6-newer-kernels support to the ebuild, it compiles and loads on my 2.6.14-rc2-mm2 now. Does it work for you, too?
