Yea, Im a linux noob :) anyways, got kernel 2.6.7 compiled - everything is working correctly BUT the wireless card (Netgear FA511 I believe.. heard it uses the prism module). Now, I compiled my old (wired) network card into the kernel, not as a module.. on boot up, and also if I try to modprobe prism, I get a:
modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

modprobe: can't locate module prism


Now.. I figure the message is because Im typing the wrong module... but when I go to the /lib/modules/2.6.7/kernel/drivers/net/wireless directory, and try any of those, I get the same message... did I forget to compile module support or something? Seems anything I try to modprobe doesn't work.

thanks! I'll try that.. but I swear I compiled loadable module support into the kernel.. maybe I'll try the new modutils

ok.. that got rid of the error messages.. but now im getting prism54: Unknown symbol in release_firmware
prism54: Unknown symbol request_firmware
