I am having trouble installing iwlagn from the recent compat-wireless. My system
is Ubuntu 8.10 running kernel 2.6.36-1. The reason is that iwlcore.ko does not
get build and installed in the update modules folder which, of course, leads
unresolved symbols. Here is a short log
stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$
./scripts/driver-select iwlwifi
make

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.36-1-generic'
So no iwlcore.ko at this stage.
This is after make install
stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$ find . -name
iwlcore.ko -print
stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$
and consequently the module is not in the update module folder. Thus, upon
modprobe iwlagn the original kernel module will be loaded which, of course,
lacks the new symbols.
