Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install the driver ipw2200 on my thinkpad T42. Everything is going fine till I try to modprobe the module :

Code: Select all

# modprobe ipw2200
WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211_crypt (/lib/modules/2.6.9/drivers/net/wireless/ieee80211_crypt.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.9/drivers/net/wireless/ieee80211.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.9/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko): Invalid module format

I'm using the 2.6.9 kernel.

If I do a modinfo:

Code: Select all

modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.9/drivers/net/wireless/ieee80211.ko

j'obtiens

Code: Select all

filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.9/drivers/net/wireless/ieee80211.ko

vermagic:       2.6.9 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-4.0
depends:        ieee80211_crypt
parm:           debug:debug output mask

On boot, I had the following message :

Code: Select all

ieee80211_crypt: version magic '2.6.9 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-4.0' should be '2.6.9 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-3.3'

ipw2200: version magic '2.6.9 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-4.0' should be '2.6.9 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-3.3'

How do I change/match the vermagic ?

Dang, I'm out of smileys again.

Apparently, the modules were compiled using gcc 4.0, but your kernel was built using gcc 3.3.

Reconfigure, recompile and reinstall you kernel, reboot. Welcome to the kernel-of-the-week-club.
