'locate' is only accurate as of the last time you updated its database.
 

OK - I was just being lazy - which happened not to matter because I knew 
my locate database was up-to-date. 
[ I'd included the grep line for the explicit file to show it didn't 
give an error that the file wasn't found etc. ]

If the find command doesn't show wlan.ko, re-merge madwifi and run
'depmod -ae'.  Otherwise, just run 'depmod -ae'.
 

So I do have a wlan.ko - but it doesn't contain the symbol - which seems 
to be the significant difference between our installs.

As you might expect "depmod -ae" appears to have no effect... the 
problem seems to be with my wlan.ko not containing the symbol in the 
first place rather than a problem detecting the dependency between 
ath_pci.ko and wlan.ko etc.
