I'am getting a error message when I do a
a /sbin/modprobe/ pctel

dmesg error message;

pctel: Unknown symbol pci_module_init

What does that error message mean ??

"pctel: Unknown symbol pci_module_init

Using symbol pci_module_init has been deprecated since at least 2004. Your latest kernel may no longer support pci_module_init. You may need to gt a later version of your pctel driver.

If you have the driver source find where in code pci_module_init is called and replace it with pci_register_driver without changing the parameters (things in brackets). Recompile+reinstall the driver and then try to modprobe it.

Have fun!
