I have not tried 0.2.5, but I reading the CHANGES in the release, it
does not seem
to have anything to address this issue.

Yes, it's embedded PPC, 8xx processor type.  There is no -m option in
insmod,
certainly not from busybox.  Are you referring to 2.4 kernel convention
(modulename.o)?
This is 2.6.12 kernel (.ko).

Where do I start to debug this problem?  I compiled wlan with debug
turned on.
The last function in the code was in hfa384x_cmd_initialize(), but  you
probably
could have guessed that since it was just about to enable the interface.
