Im trying to write the configuration for ndiswrapper for modprobe by using the -m option, but i get the error "Unresolved Symbols in...", this error has already occured for me in several areas, and im just bloody well sick of it :wink: . If any one could tell me how to get rid of these "unresolved symbols" i would be most appreciative. The mentioned modules are installed.

Code:

LS236 root # ndiswrapper -m
Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules.conf
depmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r7/modules.dep~ is not an ELF file
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.o

I've had similar problems with ip_tables modules. To solve them I had to rebuild the kernel modules:

cd [path to your kernel source]
make clean
make dep
make modules
make modules_install

basically, the make clean step solves some dependancy problems that lead to unresolved symbols.

Hope this helps!

Your System.map is indeed borked up...
Try to copy it to /boot after recompiling, this won't erase it.

as i see it here its a kernel problem, so the rest of the system should remain untouched.
