ath_pci is missing in modules.pcimap after kernel upgrade
I'm running a Debian flavoured dist called Voyage on a WRAP-board (i486).
After building and upgrading to a new kernel I'm not able to do a modprobe ath_pci anymore, even though this driver is successfully loaded at boot time (see boot message below). I have understood that this is because ath_pci is missing in /lib/modules/2.6.14_my_kernel/modules.pcimap. it is present in the old 2.6.8-486-voyage/modules.pcimap. When compiling the kernel i used a patched version of kernel source which includes the madwifi driver. Have I missed something when upgrading the kernel? I recall having a similar problem when upgrading my debian kernel on my laptop. What i did to solve the problem that time was to rebuild madwifi and made a make install. ****** boot messages below **** ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413) ath_rate_sample: 1.2 ath_pci: 0.9.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) Build date: Dec Debugging version (IEEE80211) ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36M bps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: turboA rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: turboG rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: H/W encryption support: WEP AES AES_CCM TKIP ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6 ath0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic ath0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic ath0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic ath0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic ath0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic ath0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons Debugging version (ATH) ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x80080000, irq=9 |
I have no experience with patched kernels, because I use the source from kernel.org; but when doing that, one always has to rebuild madwifi. It can't be included in the official kernel. You should check the .config of the kernel you've got. These are my modules for madwifi:
Code:
bruce@titus:~$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.13.4/net/ |
