Hi,

I am trying to get my wireless (centrino based) in my Dell D600, running Redhat Enterprise 3 Workstation (2.4.21-4.EL). I have successfully compiled ndiswrapper. It looks like I got the dell driver installed correctly, because when I run "ndiswrapper -l", I get the following:

Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present

However when I attempt to install the module via "modprobe ndiswrapper", I get the following error:

/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/misc/ndiswrapper.o: unresolved symbol usb_wrap_funcs
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/misc/ndiswrapper.o: unresolved symbol usb_reset_port
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/misc/ndiswrapper.o: unresolved symbol usb_submit_nt_urb/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/misc/ndiswrapper.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/misc/ndiswrapper.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/misc/ndiswrapper.o: insmod ndiswrapper failed

Any clues???

I have the exact same problem. Some help would be appreciated!

did u install using package or compiled from source?

I compiled from the source.

I just tried it from a package -- no luck, same problem.

Yeah it seems that Redhat Enterprise W3 has this problem....I am getting the exact same issue too. Any answers to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

shouldnt modprobe be loading a .ko file instald of a .o file? Try using insmod with the full path to the ndiswrapper.ko file.

Hi, the problem seems to be that the drive/usb.c won't get compiled if usb is compiled as a module in the kernel. (Note the

ifeq ($(CONFIG_USB),y)
OBJS += usb.o
endif

in the driver/Makefile) The simple solution is to add 'CONFIG_USB=y' to the command line, i.e.

make CONFIG_USB=y rpm
