Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-13
I need to compile the rt2500 driver from sourceforge for my
wireless interface. To do so, I downloaded the latest source
for Sarge, and successfully compiled the kernel. All other
hardware worked, so I compiled the rt2500 module. There were
no errors during the compile, but I got these errors when I
tried to load the module:
# modprobe rt2500
FATAL: Error inserting rt2500
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-ctm/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2500.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
The pertinent lines from dmesg were:
rt2500: disagrees about version of symbol per_cpu__softnet_data
rt2500: Unknown symbol per_cpu__softnet_data
rt2500: disagrees about version of symbol netif_rx
rt2500: Unknown symbol netif_rx
I contacted the author of the module, and he said to try a
stock kernel from kernel.org. I downloaded the 2.6.8 kernel
and compiled it successfully. I then compiled the rt2500
module without errors and now I can load the rt2500 module.
The author said that something must have changed in the
Debian modifications to prevent it from compiling correctly.

we backport fixes and security stuff.
rt2500 is a third party out of tree module.
ask their authors to post their code for review,
drivers merged upstream land also in the debian kernel. ;-)
