disagrees about version of symbol

[Thomas Novin]

Hi

I was going to test the brcm80211 driver to replace the wl driver on
my gfs laptop to support a BCM4727 chip.

After doing scripts/driver-select, choosing that driver, make, make
install, make unload and them modprobe brcm80211 I get this:

If I do modinfo on brcm80211, cfg80211 and mac80211 they are all my
updated versions. What is wrong here?

Can I make a little off topic? Can you say something more about your card?

Something like BCM4727 does not seem to exist. Is your card 14e4:4724
(BCM4313) or something else?

Oh sorry, the device is:

14e4:4727 BCM4313

So you're using compat-wireless, correct?  What version of compat-wireless
and kernel?

After the "make unload", are cfg80211 and mac80211 actually unloaded?

You might have the original mac80211 loaded, not the updated one.

Yes, version 2011-06-15. They were unloaded.

I see now that mac80211/cfg80211 are the correct version but the
driver name actually isn't brcm80211 but brcmsmac? Checking that
brcm80211.ko module I found that it was supplied by a kernel package.
Looking at what 'make install' installed I found brcmsmac.ko,
brcmfmac.ko, brcmutil.ko. I loaded mrcmsmac.ko and I immediately got
connected.
