I have booted to FEDORA and downloaded the 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 kernel.
With I lsmod i do not see the zd1211rw driver.
I then successfully compiled the driver but when i tried to insmod
 zd1211rw.ko I receive tye following error:-

error inserting zd1211rw.ko: -1 Unknown symbol in module

Can you help
Thanks

 Roger,

 the vendor kernel is to old and doesn't appear to contain the softmac
 stack, that the driver requires.

 You probably need to compile a new development kernel. The snapshots
 will work with 2.6.19. The new book from Greg Kroah-Hartman is very
 helpful for compiling a custom kernel. Here is a link: http://
 kroah.com/lkn/. There is even an online version.

 Regards,

 Ulrich

Hi Roger -

Use

dmesg | tail

to hear about which symbol was unknown, that will give you a big clue 
what the situation is (since you used insmod, which solely tries to load 
the named module, it can easily be because the ieee80211 subsystem 
modules are not loaded).  If you copy zd1211rw.ko into 
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/... and do depmod -a, afterwards you can do

modprobe zd1211rw

and it will autoload any dependent modules before the one you ask for to 
avoid such problems.  Take care to delete or overwrite any existing 
zd1211rw.ko down /lib/modules/`uname -r`/... first otherwise you can end 
up getting the old version inserted into the kernel...

-Andy
