[speedtouch] CONFIG_UNLOAD_MODULE and speedtouch module

2004-04-24 Thread Fabrice Ménard

Hi all !

I've noticed a strange thing with my new 2.6.5 kernel:

the included speedtouch module works perfectly when I don't set 
CONFIG_UNLOAD_MODULE in the loadable module support.

When CONFIG_UNLOAD_MODULE is set I get the following message when pppd start:
connect(8.35): No such device

I googled and didn't find anything related to this.
Any information ?
I'll try to investigate the code.

 I was using the user mode driver in 2.4, then I moved to 2.6 a couple of

 who both hit this problem.

 Try this patch (only for 2.6.5):

 http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The last two hunks of this patch failed on my 2.6.5 source, ot sure if
Ishould have been using a newer source or not.

Anyway, I ended up going back to 2.4.24, but after all that 2.6.5 suddenly
started working for the person I was helping and still works at the tie of
writing, so all ended well anyway :)

 I think I will try 2.4.25 or 24 and see if that improves things.  Only
 thing is I compiled modem_run using 2.6 headers, maybe I should start
 again with 2.4 headers also.

 It shouldn't make any difference.
 Ciao,
 Duncan.

yes, you're right, it didn't, all the programs worked fine on the 2.4
kernel. The only thing I had trouble with was I compiled my 2.4 kernel
while running 2.6, and when I booted it my modules had unresolved symbols.
 Then I saw somewhere you need to compile a kernel while running the same
version, so I cross-compiled from another 2.4 machine and then it worked.
