Hello, Group, I am trying to install and use NetGear MA111 usb wireless network. I followed the instructions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Prism2_USB_on_Gentoo <http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Prism2_USB_on_Gentoo>
But I get errors when I try to install the kernel module. linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8 # modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1 WARNING: Error inserting p80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r5/linux- wlan-ng/p80211.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting prism2_usb (/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r5/linux- wlan-ng/prism2_usb.ko): Invalid module format My system is built with gentoo 2007.0 livecd for i386 system. Here is uname -a Linux map 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 4 05:44:43 UTC 2007 i686 Celeron (Mendocino) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Initially, my /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5, and it's not configured or compiled, so I don't have .config or include/linux/ version.h files that linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8 looks for. I created a simple config (has wireless support, usb support), compiled it but never installed it. So I have .config and include/ linux/version.h files. linux-wlan-ng could compile but the result kernel modules cannot be installed unless forced: modprobe -f prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1 Segmentation fault map # lsmod Module Size Used by prism2_usb 60755 1 p80211 24844 1 prism2_usb This causes the kernel to panic when I do 'reboot' but everything else seems fine. How could I go about solving this problem. I had no problem installing this card and the softwares on a Fedora core 8 release. In this case, it seems like some wierd kernel config problem causing errors when I insert modules. Is there a way to get the config file used to create the stock kernel in 2007.0 gentoo livecd?
