I compiled beta3 and cvs drivers on FC5t3 and everything went ok, but the rt2500 module can't be loaded. On FC5t2's default kernel everything went ok (both, compiling and loading the rt2500 module). [root@localhost Module]# /sbin/modprobe rt2500 FATAL: Error inserting rt2500 (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1955_FC5/extra/rt2500.ko): Invalid argument

This is a bug in rt2500. I reported it. It has to do with module_param call not following the new standard. They have not fixed this problem even though I reported it with a fix. I patched my own but am no longer using the card (though when master mode works I will switch back due to my preference for completely open source drivers instead of partially one way or the other. I suggest you ask them to fix it up for newer kernels. The problem is in their MODULE_PARAM calls.

I updated to fresh CVS this afternoon and I had '/var/log/message' complaints on the ifname parameter sections (when modprobe'd) so i just commented out lines 61 and 62 also removed the

ifname option line from /etc/modules.conf.

Obviously not the preferred solution but i am at least on the internet on this testing machine. -mf

No, that is not it. I no longer have the book mark, but it was in the support forums (vichu is the user name). I cannot remember which team member was reading my comments. They fixed up the USB part but didn't fix up the module_param stuff. Basically, in newer kernels, this has changed and the latest one now has depricated the older method. instead of "i" or what not for type it is int. Beyond that, I cannot remember what the changes were. Trever On Wed, 2006-02-22 at 22:44 +0100, Eric Tanguy wrote: > Le mercredi 22 février 2006 à 00:00 -0700, Trever L.

[root@localhost Module]# /sbin/modprobe rt2500 FATAL: Error inserting rt2500 (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1955_FC5/extra/rt2500.ko): Invalid argument Is it any way to load that module? No rt2500 support means no internet for me :-/ Thanks. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec
