Bug 103287 – ndiswrapper-1.2 throws unresolved symbol pci_set_consistent_dma_mask

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Ralf Eichelsdörfer 2005-08-21 15:28:21 UTC]

After upgrading to ndiswrapper-1.2 I cant load the module anymore. 

#modprobe ndiswrapper
/lib/modules/2.4.28-gentoo-r9/misc/ndiswrapper.o: unresolved symbol
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask
/lib/modules/2.4.28-gentoo-r9/misc/ndiswrapper.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.28-gentoo-r9/misc/ndiswrapper.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.28-gentoo-r9/misc/ndiswrapper.o: insmod ndiswrapper failed 

I've seen posts in the forum that this also happens on a 2.4.22-gentoo-r3
kernel. See last page of
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-125627-start-250.html for more detail.

After going back to ndiswrapper-1.1-r1 things work again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.2
2. Reboot


Actual Results:

Under linux-2.4.x, pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() is defined in
include/linux/libata-compat.h:

#define pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev,mask) (0)

This file needs to be included in driver/loader.c for KVERS=24 for ndiswrapper
to work on linux-2.4.x.

please test again with version 1.4 and re-open if the problem presists.

Hi Doug, sorry I cant test this anymore. I have switched to a new amd64
platform. Can anyone else confirm?
