Madwifi suddenly not working! (Solved)

After months using my D-Link G-650 card with the madwifi drivers, all of a sudden, attempting to lode the module doesn't work. Typing "modprobe ath_pci" which I usually did told me that the modules have an invalid format. Does anyone know what that means and how I can fix it? I've already re-merged, to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm guessing that you have upgraded the kernel, without running:

Nope, no kernel upgrade. I thought of that, but the module is installed in what I think is the correct directory.

have you updated the madiwifi yet, i thought i had similar some times ago?

maybe try to uncheck this in your kernel config and rebuit:

[ ] Module versioning support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[ ] Source checksum for all modules

Got it working! Always check your portage warnings! Turned out that I hadn't turned on the right crypto settings in the kernel. Thanks everyone!
