Subject: unresolved symbols due to missing iwlcore.ko
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:13:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D07434F.6070006@tls-tautenburg.de> (raw)

I am having trouble installing iwlagn from the recent compat-wireless. My system 
is Ubuntu 8.10 running kernel 2.6.36-1. The reason is that iwlcore.ko does not 
get build and installed in the update modules folder which, of course, leads 
unresolved symbols. Here is a short log

stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$ 
./scripts/driver-select iwlwifi

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.36-1-generic'

So no iwlcore.ko at this stage.

This is after make install

stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$ find . -name 
iwlcore.ko -print
stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$

and consequently the module is not in the update module folder. Thus, upon 
modprobe iwlagn the original kernel module will be loaded which, of course, 
lacks the new symbols.

Regards, Bringfried
