Since Linux-Wlan-Ng pre17 things does not work in any combination of pcmcia-cs 3.2.5/3.2.7 and linux kernel series 2.4.X. depmod -e depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/drivers/net/prism2_cs.o depmod: pcmcia_get_configuration_info_R8551fe3c depmod: pcmcia_deregister_client_R609d99de depmod: pcmcia_request_io_R32b53b24 depmod: pcmcia_get_card_services_info_R3c39c871 depmod: pcmcia_request_irq_Ra75d6fa4 depmod: pcmcia_release_io_R1be3b3e4 depmod: pcmcia_get_first_tuple_R440fbd7b depmod: pcmcia_release_irq_Rd440dd2b depmod: pcmcia_release_configuration_R6b0239db depmod: pcmcia_get_tuple_data_Rc2131918 depmod: pcmcia_request_configuration_Rcfd96880 depmod: pcmcia_parse_tuple_Rbb8dd80b depmod: pcmcia_report_error_Rdd56c06c depmod: pcmcia_register_client_R4605df71 depmod: pcmcia_access_configuration_register_R93180e17 depmod: pcmcia_get_next_tuple_R2ebffd89
I am having the same problem... kernel 2.4.22 here, latest pcmcia-cs and wlan-ng
Same problem here; pcmcia-cs-3.2.7; kernel 2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3. Tried various linux-wlan-ng builds (up to pre20).
Same thing here with pre20, gentoo sources 2.4.25-rc3, and pcmcia-cs 3.2.7. The problem is that the prism2_cs driver is looking for all these pcmcia_ functions; those symbols exist in pcmcia_core.o (installed by pcmcia-cs), but they don't have the pcmcia_ prefix: moby linux # nm /lib/modules/2.4.26-rc3-gentoo/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o | grep get_con 000017a0 t get_configuration_info moby linux #
I actually got this to work by breaking the rules: I compiled PCMCIA support with cardbus and I82365 turned on as a module, then re-emerged pcmcia-cs 3.2.7 and linux-wlan-ng, and it all magically worked (with some error messages about an unresolved symbol in tcic.o and the following: moby linux # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg * 'modprobe i82365' failed * Trying alternative PCIC driver: yenta_socket * Starting pcmcia... cardmgr[31316]: watching 2 sockets But dmesg reported: Prism2 card SN: 99SA01000000 linkstatus=CONNECTED This may only work if you have a really common card (I have a Linksys WPC11.v3, which has a prism2 chipset). But it solved the problem. *shrug*
Hopefully solving bug #77780 will solve this as well.
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2 is now in the official tree. Please, test using that and close if the problem is fixed.
Awaiting feedback from reporter.
