unres. symbols by issueing "insmod hostap_cs"

[m_pawlowski at t-online.de]

hi, everybody.

well ... i was trying to get hostap up and running for several days now. 
unfortunately i wasn't able to set it up completely and i'm close to 
going slightly mad about it.

the distributions i used were rh 7.1 and 8.0 and i even installed it 
freshly any time i was close to desperation. but although everything 
compiled ok (make pccard and make install_pccard) and installed 
correctly hostap_cs did not install itself when the wireless card was 
inserted (Netgear MR401RA, i edited hostap_cs.conf to fit the desc and i 
did edit the Makefile to point to the right location and added the line 
EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DPRISM2_HOSTAPD to get the userspace-daemon). so i tried 
to insmod it manually and strangely enough the following messages 
appeared on the screen:

there was no output from depmod concerning unresolved symbols; those 
messages only appear when i try to insmod hostap_cs manually.

CONFIG_MODVERSIONS didn't do the trick, either. the only thing that 
differs then is the missing trailing _R* stuff when trying to insmod 
hostap_cs.

can anybody please tell me what i'm doing wrong?  

the weird thing is: on a system where hostapd is not intended to run 
everything works fine (it's another laptop running RH 8.0), hostap_cs 
automatically loads every time the card is inserted and i am sure that 
the config's identical to the one on the system where hostap_cs does not 
work.

well, you shall say that surely enough there must be differences and 
most probably you're right (excuse me for being that dull :). but i 
can't figure out where the differences are ...

oh - and: it doesn't matter whether i use the latest cvs-snapshot (which 
runs fine on the system where hostapd is not intended to run) or v0.0.1.

any help is gladly appreciated.

thanks in advance.
