Hello,
I'm a new user of madwifi drivers (I use CB21AG cisco pcmcia card).
I got svn drivers (in /usr/src/madwifi)
I downloaded my kernel source (apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17) and
headers (apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686)
I followed the INSTALL text file, as bellow :
{{{
cd /usr/src/madwifi
make
make install
}}}
I see that drivers are installed in /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/drivers/net
instead of /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
So, I made :
{{{
modprobe ath_pci -> OK
}}}
I wanted to use wlan_scan_ap module, and I guet the following message :
{{{
FATAL: Error inserting wlan_scan_ap
(/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/net/wlan_scan_ap.ko): Unknown symbol in module,
or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
}}}
I tried to rmmod wlan_scan_sta and insert it manually, and i got the same
error message
So, dmesg tells me :

Comment:
{{{
#!blockquote
I got svn drivers (in /usr/src/madwifi)
}}}
You missed to mention which version of MadWifi you're trying to use.
{{{
#!blockquote
I downloaded my kernel source (apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17) and
headers (apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686)
}}}
So you're working with a Debian-related distribution, but missed to
mention which distro it is and which version. However, don't install both
packages at the same time, since it makes things more complicated. Having
just the headers-package installed should be sufficient, makes things a
lot easier and works fine for me in Debian 3.1 (Sarge).
{{{
#!blockquote
I see that drivers are installed in /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/drivers/net
instead of /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
}}}
This is ok and no issue.
{{{
#!blockquote
I wanted to use wlan_scan_ap module,
}}}
Why?
{{{
#!blockquote
wlan_scan_ap: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_find_channel
wlan_scan_ap: Unknown symbol ieee80211_find_channel
}}}
This is probably a result of having both, the kernel-source-<version> and
kernel-headers-<version>, packages installed, but that's hard to tell from
the information you gave in your report.
However, the rare information you gave indicate that the issue is not
caused by a bug in MadWifi, but is caused by your environment. Please
follow the specific installation instructions for the distribution you use
(see: [wiki:UserDocs/Distro]) first and see if you can solve your issue.
If that doesn't work out, please use our regular [wiki:Support support
channels] in the next step. If (and only in that case) it turns out to be
a real bug in MadWifi, feel free to reopen this ticket and provide more
detailed information about it.
