Package: madwifi-source Version: 0.svn20051110-1 Severity: wishlist
I decided to try the madwifi-source this evening and am at a bit of a loss on how to proceed. I followed the instructions I've used in the past at http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/madwifi and performed the following: copied /boot/config-2.6.14-2-686 to /usr/src/linux/.config make-kpkg --append-to-version "-2-686" --revision 2.6.14-4 --config oldconfig configure make-kpkg --append-to-version "-2-686" --revision 2.6.14-4 --added-modules madwifi modules_image to build against the installed Debian linux-kernel package. After some output, the build process fails with the following error: # Build modules /usr/bin/make -C /usr/src/modules/madwifi \ CC=gcc LD=ld TOOLPREFIX= \ KERNELPATH=/usr/src/linux KERNELRELEASE=2.6.14-2-686 TARGET=i386-elf ATH_RATE=ath_rate/sample make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/madwifi' Checking if all requirements are met... ok. mkdir -p ./symbols for i in ./ath_hal ./net80211 ath_rate/sample ./ath; do \ /usr/bin/make -C $i || exit 1; \ done make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath_hal' cp ./../hal/linux/ah_osdep.c ah_osdep.c uudecode ./../hal/public/i386-elf.hal.o.uu cp ./../hal/public/i386-elf.opt_ah.h opt_ah.h /usr/bin/make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath_hal MODVERDIR=/usr/src/modules/madwifi/ath_hal/../symbols modules make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.14' WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.14/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

Hit return to Continue The genksyms file seems is not yet built and I suspect that it won't be built until the kernel is built. Is this necessary? For the packages obtained from marlow.dk building the kernel was not necessary. It would be nice if the source package could provide some guidance about building the Madwifi modules using kernel-package. - Nate >> -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages madwifi-source depends on: ii build-essential 11.1 informational list of build-essent ii bzip2 1.0.2-11 high-quality block-sorting file co ii debhelper 5.0.10 helper programs for debian/rules ii module-assistant 0.10.2 tool to make module package creati ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode madwifi-source recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
