Hi everyone I'm running a vanilla 2.6.18-rc2 on a Gentoo box with some Zydas chip WLAN USB stick.
I had some problems with previous kernels and updated to give the rw driver a try. somehow the zd1211rw module can't be loaded. This is what dmesg says on bootup: usb_init() kobject_add failed for zd1211rw with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. [<c0286bfd>] kobject_add+0xfd/0x150 [<c0286c78>] kobject_register+0x28/0x60 [<c02ed685>] bus_add_driver+0x75/0xe0 [<c03491d5>] usb_register_driver+0x55/0xc0 [<c0118d87>] printk+0x17/0x20 [<e0997024>] usb_init+0x24/0x54 [zd1211rw] [<c0138872>] sys_init_module+0x122/0x1f0 [<c010326d>] sysenter_past_esp+0x56/0x79 usbcore: error -17 registering driver zd1211rw usb_register() failed. Error number -17 Same happens when I try an "insmod zd1211rw". I've been compiling kernels for a while, but never encountered such an error message. This is part of my .config: # CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN is not set # CONFIG_HAMRADIO is not set # CONFIG_IRDA is not set # CONFIG_BT is not set CONFIG_IEEE80211=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=y CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC=y # CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y CONFIG_ZD1211RW=m CONFIG_ZD1211RW_DEBUG=y CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y I already tried hard-coding the 1211rw, but that doesn't help either. I haven't tried 2.6.18-rc3 yet because the changelog list no changes for zd1211rw. I found no suitable answer anywhere else, could somebody give me a hint to get this fixed, please. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/zd1211rw%3A-dmesg%3A-kobject_add-failed-for-zd1211rw-with--EEXIST-tf2034583.html#a5597760 Sent from the zd1211-devs forum at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
