Title: Compiled Usb Nic Driver, But Could Not Be Insmod
Post by: wellswang on March 11, 2007, 03:57:42 am

Hi,

My USB NIC is using DaviCom dm9601 chip,
i tried the driver built by meanie ( https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...155807&st=180&# (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21898&pid=155807&st=180&#) )

but unfortunately, it dosen't work.
when i tried to depmod or insmod
it reported a "Floating point" error

Code: [Select]

#insmod dm9601.o
Floating point exception
so, i tried to build it myself.

i am using pdaxrom 1.1 beta3,
gcc version is  3.4.6
i linked source code of linux kernel (2.4.20) to /usr/src/linux
and i make the version.h

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/src/linux
make include/linux/version.h
then i compiled the dm9601 driver for 2.4.20.

built it succesfully, but when i tried to insmod,
i got this error message:

Code: [Select]

# insmod dm9601.o
dm9601.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
can any body help me?

thanks.

--Wells.

I think that if you read Meanies post in the compiled thread, he said that he had to use 2.4.18 to get it to compile.

Here is the source that I downloaded. In the 2.4 version there seems to be a version for .18 and one for .20. I am also attaching the 2.6 version.

Thanks,

i tried to compile the driver for 2.4.18, but got many error messages,

when i tried to compile the driver for 2.4.20, only got warning message.

...

it's so strange that this driver can not be insmod.

Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

Code: [Select]

# insmod dm9601.o
dm9601.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
I checked dm9601.c

it includes linux/module.h

Code: [Select]

#include
so I don't know what's wrong with it...

you have to use gcc 2.95.x to compile kernel/modules for 2.4.x

I've tried gcc2.95.2 to compile this driver.
but when I insmod, I got

Code: [Select]

# insmod usbcore.o
# insmod dm9601.o
dm9601.o: dm9601.o: unresolved symbol local_irq_save
dm9601.o: dm9601.o: unresolved symbol local_irq_restore
dm9601.o:
Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
      and it has unresolved symbols.  Contact the module supplier for
      assistance, only they can help you.
which module should I insert first to resolve  local_irq_save and local_irq_restore?

OR

I compiled it in WRONG WAY ?
(gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall  -Wstrict-prototypes -O6  -c dm9601.c)

Thanks.
