I was experimenting with the etnernet driver code : Broadcom b44 NIC . I took the code from the linux kernel /drivers directory and tried to compile it seperately and insert into the running kernel.
the kernel is just freshly compiled  ??

insmod: error inserting './b44.o': -1 Invalid module format ??

Can I not do it like that ?? I even tried to insert the module compiled during kernel compilation in the drivers directoy .. but that too is giving the same results.

Please guide me to point out whats going wrong ?


It means the module has different version than running Linux kernel. Please read Chapter #2 in Linux Device Drivers book for more information.

Thank you,
Kostya.
