Re: madwifi: modprobe complains about "Invalid module format"

[Frank <hugelmopf@web.de>]

Could the kernel you are using have been compiled with a different compiler 
then the modules you are trying to modprobe?

Look at $modinfo ath_pci
There should be a line like the following:
	vermagic:       2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 gcc-4.0
telling you for which kernel headers and with which compiler the module was 
compiled. This has to equal the values for the kernel.
