Hi,

I tried to find the solution, but I didn't found the root of the proble=
m:
for some reason ../drivers/net/wireless/iwl-4965.c wasn't compiled, but
the CONFIG_IWL4965=3Dy was defined config.mk.
This leads to a not existing struct iwl_cfg iwl4965_agn_cfg which was =20
claimed by make during making iwl4965.ko.

Since I don't need support for 4965 I set CONFIG_IWL4965=3Dn to overcom=
e =20
this issue.

I thought I'm fine but this leads to
=2E.
=46ATAL: Error inserting iwl4965 =20
(/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl496=
5.ko): =20
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
=2E.
during make load.
Any suggestions?

Best regards
Alain P=E9teut

I can't comment on this part.

We'd need to see the dmesg output (as the error message says) to figure=
out=20
why that is happening for you. =20
