problem with madwifi drivers

[Oscar p]

Hi

This is what I did:

1.- remove all driver files from /lib/modules/2.6.4-52-default/net
2.- reboot the machine without wireless card
3.- compile the madwifi again
4.- copy wlan.o, ath_hal.o, ath_pci.o, wlan_acl.o, wlan_wep.o, wlan_tkip.o, 
wlan_ccmp.o, into  /lib/modules/2.6.4-52-default/net
5.- try insmod on wlan.o, wlan_acl.o, wlan_wep.o, wlan_tkip.o, wlan_ccmp.o, 
ath_hal.o, ath_pci.o, all of them were properly loaded but ath_pci:

Compaq:/home/oscar/madwifi/madwifi-20041021 # insmod ath/ath_pci.o
insmod: error inserting 'ath/ath_pci.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module

dmesg messages:

it seems there is something wrong with ath_pci but I do not know what it 
is....

Thanks a lot for your help!
