Unknown symbol error

Madwifi-users,
 

Im still struggling to load the module.


I have just installed Slackware 13.1 on a samsung r580 with an atheros 
Ar 9285 card in it.

 

When installing I began by blacklisting the ath9k drivers and rebooting 
(The card seems to work prefectly using these drivers, however packet 
injection shows no performance).

 

I then downloaded the latest version of madwifi-ng using svn
 checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/trunk madwifi-ng. 

make and make install complete without
 errors. However after issuing modprobe
 ath_pci, wifi0/ath0 are still not listed under ifconfig
 or iwconfig.

I was advised to rather use insmod with dmesg and this provided the following list of errors.

  
bash-4.1# insmod ath_pci.ko | dmesg| grep ath

Google let me to several possible solutions but none of them are applicable to Slackware, I am now at something of a loss.


I have tried installing both madwifi and madwifi-ng with the same 
results, I must admit that I am very new to Linux and I apologize in 
advance for any fundamental mistakes that I may have made.

 
Once again I will greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
