[Gloucs] Wireless driver problem

[Glyn Davies]

'lo,

Thought I'd ask here before braving the developer mailing lists.

My laptop runs Ubuntu as until now I have been able to get its Compaq 
W200 wireless card working with it.

The lastest kernel updates have broken it.

2.6.24-16 was my last peachy working kernel

2.6.24-17 borked it but I have since fixed it. The firmware wasn't in 
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-17-generic. No idea why not

2.6.24-19 borked. Same firmware problem as -17 plus the orinoco_usb 
driver compiles okay but modprobe gives:

root at westbury:~# modprobe -v orinoco_usb
insmod 
/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_usb.ko
FATAL: Error inserting orinoco_usb 
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_usb.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg gives:

[ 1661.254611] orinoco_usb: Unknown symbol __orinoco_ev_rx
[ 1661.254807] orinoco_usb: Unknown symbol __orinoco_ev_info
[ 1661.255109] orinoco_usb: disagrees about version of symbol 
alloc_orinocodev
[ 1661.255112] orinoco_usb: Unknown symbol alloc_orinocodev

Can someone that knows something about the kernel and/or compiling give 
me a pointer (probably a delicious pun there).

I have been following the instructions here 
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200) but there 
is no mention of any problems (yet).
