Hello,
I've recently bought a RealTek WLAN PCI card. I've downloaded the source code of the driver and compiled it. As result I now have a .o file. What should I do next to get my network connection up and running (using DHCP) ?
Greetz,
Souf. |

Done make install?
Then edit the /etc/modules.autoload and add the name of the module. |

I've copied the wlan.o file to the /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/network/ directory and added wlan to /etc/modules.autoload. At startup the system tries to load the modules, but fails....
I've tried modules-update which gives the following output:
| Code: |
modules-update
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/network/rtl8180_24x.o
|
Have I done something wrong? |
