Bug 52777 – hostap-driver/ipw2100 0.44 & 0.45 have unresolved symbols

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Stuart Shelton 2004-06-02 07:44:39 UTC]

I have hostap-driver-0.1.3 installed with 'USE="pcmcia -hostap-nopci -hostap-noplx' (although I've tried using only 'USE=pcmcia' too).

When I install ipw2100 (0.44 or 0.45) I get:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in //lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r3/net/ipw2100.o
depmod:         hostap_get_crypto_ops

... and the module fails to modprobe.

This looks like probably a HostAP problem - but can anyone assist in getting the ipw2100 driver to work?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

USE="hostap-nopci hostap-noplx" emerge -v hostap-driver
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v ipw2100
Actual Results:  

Modprobe fails with unresolved symbol errors

Expected Results:  

A loaded ipw2100.o module

Please try the new 0.48 i just added to portage that no longer uses hostap-driver for its WEP implementation.

Cheers - I've now migrated to 2.6.x and the ipw2100 driver works just fine for me.
