Re: unresolved symbols with 2.6.3 (read the FAQ)

Hi Frank,

The list of symbols that you said are not found by at76c503.ko are the 
symbols provided by the core wireless component of the kernel.  (the 
other symbols are unresolved because the at76c503 module failed to load 
and it provides these functions)

Off the top of my head, I can only imagine that you might have forgotten 
to compile wireless support into the kernel.  You seem to be able to 
compile the driver ok, but then again the header files required for 
compilation would still be present even if you didn't configure wireless 
support (I think?!?) This is consistent with the situation you have 
described.

In 2.6 kernels, please check the following option in make menuconfig:
"Device Drivers/Networking Support/Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)/Wireless 
LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions <- check this"

Hope this helps
