[Madwifi-users] Installation Problems - modprobe ath_pci

[Clifton W. <cli...@gm...>]

Hi all,

When attempting to load the driver module via 'modprobe ath_pci', I
received the following error:

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net/ath_hal.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net/ath_hal.o: unresolved symbol
unregister_sysctl_table_R8c79656d
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net/ath_hal.o:

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
      and it has unresolved symbols.  The module may be trying to access
      GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
      user error.  Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
      can help you.

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net/ath_hal.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net/ath_hal.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net/ath_hal.o: insmod ath_pci failed

I am running Debian Sarge (3.1) with a 2.4.27 kernel.  I have made
sure that all of the requirements were met and my kernel is configured
correctly.  Why am I unable to load the driver?  I don't know what I
could've done wrong or what else I can do to get it to work.  Someone
please help me.  I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.
