Hi,Guys
There is a problem need your help to check it.
1. When I complier the madwifi driver,it will generate the warning
message,as below:
{{{
........
*** Warning: "ieee80211_authenticator_unregister"
[/home/jimmy/livebox/athbuild/wlan/linux/net80211/wlan_xauth.ko] has no
CRC!
*** Warning: "ieee80211_crypto_register"
[/home/jimmy/livebox/athbuild/wlan/linux/net80211/wlan_wep.ko] has no CRC!
*** Warning: "ieee80211_note_mac"
[/home/jimmy/livebox/athbuild/wlan/linux/net80211/wlan_wep.ko] has no CRC!
........
}}}
2. When I compile it completely, but I insmod the *.ko to my embbed linux
system, it will generate the error message, I can't insmod. As below:
{{{
# cd lib/modules/2.6.8.1/kernel/net/atheros/
# ls
ath_dev.ko ath_rate_atheros.ko wlan_scan_sta.ko
ath_dfs.ko wlan.ko wlan_tkip.ko
ath_hal.ko wlan_acl.ko wlan_wep.ko
ath_pci.ko wlan_ccmp.ko wlan_xauth.ko
ath_pktlog.ko wlan_scan_ap.ko
# insmod ath_pci.ko
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_encap
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_input
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_ifattach
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_beacon_update
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_amsdu_encap
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_find_channel
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ieee80211_find_rxnode
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_dev_free
.....
insmod: cannot insert `ath_pci.ko': Success (2): Success

Wait for your advice asap, Tks!
Comment:
Re 1.: This is no problem with MadWifi. Instead,
[http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/faq.php#qa_3_0 this] seems to suggest the
source of this issue is an outdated wireless tools ingredient. Easily
found via google.
Re 2.: Don't use insmod (unless you know what you do). Use modprobe
instead.
Neither of these two issues are bugs in the driver, I therefore close this
ticket as invalid. Please contact our [wiki:Support regular support
channels] for further support questions. Thanks.
