    Hi,
        I am using Fedora Code 5, 2.6.15 kernel. I compiled the source code for et131x pci express ethernet controller and tried to load it. It gave me an error saying undefined symbol. I traced the error which was be cause of "print_tainted()" function entry in the mod file, generated during compile time. I traced further to find that the "print_tainted()" entry is because of "pci_ma_single()" function call in the et131x_tx.c file. Please help me to compile and run the same.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Amit Bandekar

      check your kernel version with uname -r.  If you are trying to compile the ET131x driver against the stock FC5 kernel shipped with the distribution (which i believe was 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5), it will not compile.  There is a bug in this FC5 kernel. You will need to upgrade the kernel first before compiling. Let me know how it goes. :)

        Hi,
            It was the same problem as you said. I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.16 and now it compiles and loads fine.

        Thank you
