Hi All,
This is driving me nuts and I've read everything I can find but still can't get this to work.
My actual problem now is that when I try to modprobe mac80211, I get unknown symbols as follows:
tcf_destroy_chain, tc_classify, unregister_qdisc, ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init, pfifo_qdisc_ops and a couple more.
The hardware itself is a novatech laptop with a Celeron M440 in it. I've got the system installed and can boot from the sata drives and the realtec ethernet card is operational. The issue is the wireless card which I'd like to get working so I don't fall over the cables 
From some posting on these forums, it seems you need to choose either the IPW3945 driver and the IPW3945d from intel or there is a newer IWL3945 which uses the mac80211 stack. I downloaded and ran the kernel patch from intel but it said my kernel is already patched (2.6.22). My kernel settings are as follows:
| Code: | Networking -->
Wireless -->
<*> Improved wireless configuration API
<M>Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) |
I have tried the mac80211 as built in too, which makes the Improved wireless configuration API option disappear. I have also tried enabling pretty much everything there under mac80211 (debugging and verbose and stats etc) but to no avail.
I've also made sure that the following option is disabled:
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Network Device Support --->
Wireless LAN --->
[ ] Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)
|
I'm not using WEP but one post said I should have the following set so I did:
| Code: |
Cryptographic options --->
<M> Michael MIC keyed digest algorithm
|
The kernel builds without any problems but upon reboot, I find all the missing symbols in dmesg. Modprobing mac80211 produces the same errors in dmesg.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks,
Odin |
