Subject: 2.5.47 - PCMCIA ethernet and wireless ethernet bugs

I cannot get my two PCMCIA cards to work. On boot, I get the message:
Nov 14 23:00:15 paulus Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
Nov 14 23:00:15 paulus options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
Nov 14 23:00:15 paulus ds: no socket drivers loaded!

None of the PCMCIA wireless modules seem to work. In addition, I get the
following errors when trying to manually load the aironet modules:
/lib/modules/2.5.47/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.o: unresolved symbol wirele
ss_send_event_Rdc9b8ae0
/lib/modules/2.5.47/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.5.
47/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.o failed
/lib/modules/2.5.47/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.o: insmod airo_cs failed

Any ideas what might be causing this? The kernel's pretty sweet; I just
need networking to work. It actually fixes a problem I've been having
with USB in the 2.4 series (get only timeouts when connecting a USB device
after a reboot). I'd like to use it full-time, but I need the networking,
erm, working.
Thanks!

I personally have stayed at 2.5.46 because I depend on modules
and will wait until the situation "settle down". So, don't expect quick
resolution from my side.
I'm a bit puzzled by this error. Nothing has changed between
2.5.46 and 2.5.47. The symbol wireless_send_event() is still properly
exported in .../net/netsyms.c, and all uses of it are protected in #if
WIRELESS_EXT statements.
Questions :
1) Do you have module versioning enabled ? (Called "Set
version information on all module symbols").
2) Did you change the config midway through the compile,
i.e. does a "make clean" of the kernel make it go away ?
But as I say, I'm mostly stabbing in the dark...

Good luck...
