[Prism54-users] Unresolved symbols in prism54.o

[Ryan Custer]

Hi all, 

I'm new to this, so bare with me.  I have downloaded the kernel-patch for the prism54 and applied it to my 2.4.23-pre9 kernel, but depmod is giving me the following errors:


find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.23-pre9; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.23-pre9/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o
depmod:         release_firmware_R33934162
depmod:         request_firmware_R38ce5074
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.23-pre9/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54.o
depmod:         release_firmware_R33934162
depmod:         request_firmware_R38ce5074


Here are the important parts of my kernel config:

#
# Prism54 Driver - 802.11(a/b/g)
#
CONFIG_PRISM54=m
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y

#
# Library routines
#
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y

I also have the isl3890 firmware in /usr/lib/firmware and I put a sym-link to the same file in /usr/hotplug.

As far as I can tell from the website, it should be working...but it's not.

My best theory at this point is because I'm on a gentoo box and there is a bunch of stuff in /etc/hotplug my machine is not seeing the firmware.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Ryan
