Problems compiling HostAP on Red Hat 8.0

[Steve Trease]

Hello,

I'm trying to get HostAP driver 2002-10-12 working on a couple of Red Hat
8.0 systems running the stock Red Hat 2.4.18-19.8.0 kernel.

The first system (Sagan) is a Duron with an SMC PLX card and I can compile
the HostAP drivers and get the card working. No problem.

The second system (Miller) is a PII also with an SMC PLX card. I can't
compile the drivers on it because it is very low on disk space, so I'm
trying to compile the modules for it on the first system. When I load the
compiled drivers on the second machine depmod gives some "Unresolved
symbols" errors listed at the bottom of this message.

I've installed the kernel sources from the RedHat rpm. I then copy
kernel-2.4.18-i686.config file from /usr/src/linux/configs to
/usr/src/linux/.config. Then I'm doing a make dep in /usr/src/linux. After
that I head on over to the HostAP src directory and do a "make clean" and
"make plx". The modules seem to compile OK. Next I copy the four HostAP .o
files over to /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/net on Miller and run depmod -ae.

I'm almost certainly doing missing something pretty obvious. Any idea what
it is?

Thanks,

Steve
