Hello All, So, I pulled kernel source from the git (correspondes to 2.6.30 and also other dev patches happening) and executed make in the folder which resulted in compilation of the whole kernel and also modules in the source I downloaded. I am particular interested in ath9k wireless drivers. My machine has kernel version 2.6.27-14 (Ubuntu 8.10) and it also already contains ath9k module. What I wanted to do was to download latest code for ath9k and replace/temporarily load the new module instead of one I have currently. I rmmod ath9k and tried to: rakesh@pineapple:~/wireless-testing/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k$ sudo insmod ath9k.ko which results in: insmod: error inserting 'ath9k.ko': -1 Invalid module format and dmesg says: [82375.379869] ath9k: no symbol version for struct_module I looked up for this error: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/6/22/1 It says that I am supposed to have compiled the kernel being used and the module in question both with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y I do know that my .config file has CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y and I also verified it by checking the CRC tags which are generated as a result such configuration during compilation according to this: http://www.skynet.ie/~mark/home/kernel/symbols.html But what I am stuck on is how to compile a kernel module with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y, I suppose when I run make for the pulled code, it uses this tag inherently for modules also but I am not sure about that. So what am I missing her which would compile the module right to be plugged into a slightly older kernel version? -- Rakesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
