Can someone please confirm that loading and unloading of kernel modules is
functioning in the 2.4 release?
When I try to load a wlan module that I compiled (with mipsel-*) I get
relocation errors. I used the same options as I did to compile the kernel
(for MIPS Malta board). If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Works for me.
Using gcc 3.3.1 to compile modules, I had to upgrade to modutils-2.4.25
and apply this patch to them:

Thanks. I already have an equivalent patch in my development tree
(from Alvaro Martinez Echevarria). It is waiting for me to get some
time to release modutils 2.4.26.

Modules also require compiling with -mlong-calls in addition to the
"normal" kernel options.

You're _not_ using the same options as the kernel's Makefile does for
building modules.

Hi, modules compiled using these parameters are working on my 2.4.21 SMP
kernel:
CFLAGS="-I .../include/asm/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I.../include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mcpu=XX
-mips2 -Wa,--trap -pipe -DMODULE -mlong-calls"
XX = your chip style
