I emerged madwifi-ng, madwifi-ng-tools, and wpa_supplicant. When I try to modprobe ath_pci, I get this error
Code:

local net # modprobe -v ath_pci
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/net/wlan.ko
WARNING: Error inserting wlan (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/net/wlan.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/net/ath_rate_sample.ko
WARNING: Error inserting ath_rate_sample (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/net/ath_rate_sample.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/net/ath_pci.ko
FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)


Is there anyway to correct that?

Thanks.

Have you changed your kernel before rebooting with the new one ?

I have same issue using gentoo-sources but not with vanilla-sources. You may want to give that a try. I haven't really spent any time trying to fix this on my system since vanilla worked.

I think you don't have the necessary encryption things compiled into your kernel...

* Cryptographic options
* AES cipher algorithms (i586)
* ARC4 cipher algorithm
* Michael MIC Keyed digest algorithm
* CRC32c CRC algorithm

Lemme know if that doesn't work.

I recompiled my kernel, but now I can't even emerge madwifi-ng.
Code:

localhost / # emerge -v net-wireless/madwifi-ng
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "net-wireless/madwifi-ng".

What is the problem now?? :?
