Netgear WG111 v2 - Prism54 SoftMac - help!


Hi,
I've been spending the past week trying to get my Netgear WG111 usb wireless card working.

I've tried to follow the instructions from prism54.org and can get only so far. I wondered if someone w/ Suse has had any luck getting this going? Mine is the 2nd generation WG111 w/ Prism54 card. I got it to work great in Windows w/ the Opensource driver so I have monitor mode in Windows easy.

Suse on the other hand has some problems.

I basically download the package from TLA, I moved my wlan*.ko modules to /home/root folder. I compiled the prism54 code and it copied the islsm*.ko to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/islsm folder. I copied the new wlan*.ko modules to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/wlan folder. I ran "depmod -a".

Then I run "modprobe -v wlan" and "modprobe -v islsm_usb".

My output is:

modprobe -v islsm-usb
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-default/islsm/islsm.ko
WARNING: Error inserting islsm (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-default/islsm/islsm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-default/islsm/islsm_device.ko
WARNING: Error inserting islsm_device (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-default/islsm/islsm_device.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

FATAL: Error inserting islsm_usb (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-default/islsm/islsm_usb.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

# dmesg | tail
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol isl_fn_exit
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol islsm_data_input
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol islsm_free
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol uart_init_dev
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol register_islsm

islsm_usb: Unknown symbol uart_release_dev
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol isl_fn_enter
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol isl_fn_exit_v
islsm_usb: Unknown symbol isl_dump_bytes


Whats odd is if I do "cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.* | grep isl_dump_bytes" and it comes up with an alias in one of my modules.* files.

alias symbol:isl_dump_bytes islsm

Any one with some suggestions?

Must be too beta. Hopefully soon. I guess I can just wait.
