Description Joël 2006-02-02 02:31:41 UTC 
Emerging =net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1420.20060201 and trying to load it on a 2.6.15-archck3 kernel results in unknown symbol errors:

I think it was already the same with driver 0.1401.20060117, but that one was hard masked.

Has someone had this problem ?

I'm currently using 0.1_pre20050420-r1, which does load (and works).

-archck is not a supported kernel source.

If you reproduce this with either gentoo-sources, vanilla-sources or hardened-sources, feel free to reopen.
Comment 2 Joël 2006-02-06 07:07:44 UTC 
Ok, the solution was to unload (modprobe -r) *all* the older madwifi modules (not just ath_pci) before loading the new ones.

Now it works great !
