Short version. OS: Fedora 13 Kernel: 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE Hardware: Lenovo x100e Problem:Trying to build drivers for realtec wireless lan. When I tried to build drivers initally with rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010 every time I would try to load the driver with modprobe it would error and say " Invalid module format" modprobe r8192se_pci FATAL: Error inserting r8192se_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/r8192se_pci.ko): Invalid module format I modified /usr/src/kernel/2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686/Makefile and changed EXTRAVERSION = .7-61.fc13.i686 TO EXTRAVERSION = .7-61.fc13.i686.PAE I then did "make modules" which generated a new version of version.h & utsrelease.h which had the correct PAE version in it. The build error out after that. Went back to my sources and did a make clean, make and then make install. modprobe r8192se_pci now cause a core dump. I have built kernels in the past but it has been a long time and never had to build a PAE version. What else would be required for me to change in order to build the kernel modules correctly and then build the driver? In the end I am not trying to compile a custom kernel I simply want to use the kernel I have and be able to build drivers against it as needed. Thanks in advance. I included core dumps and other info in the long version below. LONG VERSION: Built driver rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010 make make install All finished ok. modprobe generates this error.
