Hi!
I updated 2.6.11-r9 to r11, re-emerged ipw2200 but the modules don't load no more:
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r11/net/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
$ dmesg
ipw2200: Unknown Symbol release_firmware
ipw2200: Unknown Symbol request_firmware |

Hi.
Did you copy the .config from your old kernel to the new?
Did you enable in the new kernel the option to provide support for loading the firmware for external modules? (I can't recall the exact name, but I think it has to be enabled in the general features)

Sure, I did.
The only FIRMWARE related option I found is CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD which was y but I also tried n. |

| When you updated the kernel, did you remember to link /usr/src/linux to the new kernel source? Sounds like emerge may have built the module against the old kernel source |

Yes. And the modules has been copies to the new kernel in /lib. But it does not *build* correctly:
WARNING: //lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r11/net/ipw2200.go needs unknown symbol release_firmware
(same for request_firmware) |
