Hello, Group, |

I am trying to install and use NetGear MA111 usb wireless network. I |
4 |
followed the instructions here: |

But I get errors when I try to install the kernel module. |
9 |
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8 # modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1 |
10 |
WARNING: Error inserting p80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r5/linux- |
11 |

My system is built with gentoo 2007.0 livecd for i386 system. Here |
16 |
is uname -a |
17 |
Linux map 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 4 05:44:43 UTC 2007 i686 |
18 |
Celeron (Mendocino) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |

Initially, my /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5, and it's not |
21 |
configured or compiled, so I don't have .config or include/linux/ |
22 |
version.h files that linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8 looks for. |
23 |
|
24 |
I created a simple config (has wireless support, usb support), |
25 |
compiled it but never installed it. So I have .config and include/ |
26 |
linux/version.h files. linux-wlan-ng could compile but the result |
27 |
kernel modules cannot be installed unless forced: |
28 |
|
29 |
modprobe -f prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1 |
30 |
Segmentation fault |
31 |
map # lsmod |
32 |
Module Size Used by |
33 |
prism2_usb 60755 1 |
34 |
p80211 24844 1 prism2_usb |
35 |
|
36 |
This causes the kernel to panic when I do 'reboot' but everything else |
37 |
seems fine. |
38 |
|
39 |
How could I go about solving this problem. I had no problem installing |
40 |
this card and the softwares on a Fedora core 8 release. In this case, |
41 |
it seems like some wierd kernel config problem causing errors when I |
42 |
insert modules. Is there a way to get the config file used to create |
43 |
the stock kernel in 2007.0 gentoo livecd? |
44 |
|
45 |
Thanks, |
46 |
Fei |
