wlan problems with 5600

[seven5]

I have been at this for a while, and can't seem to get my wlan0 to come up. My 5600 recognizes my wireless card, but it looks like when it tries to start up hostap it gets like a TON of errors.

in the logs i can see that it recognizes the card then

Code: [Select]

executes 'modprobe hostap 2>&1'
+ Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-kxa3-embedix/net/hostap.o
+ insmod: unresolved symbol wireless_send_event
it then goes on to show like a 100 of these errors. Is there something in the wrong place? Did I do seomthing wrong, or is my hostap fubard?


Specs:

5600
SMC2462 EZ connect 11mb Wiresless CF card


card entry in /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf

Code: [Select]

card "SMC 11Mbps Wireless"
version "","SMC2642 11Mbps Wireless CF Card", ""
bind "hostap_cs"

Does anyone have any insights into whats going on here? Thanks for your help. ONce i can get the CF card going i can really play!

just to add some closure to my problem, i got it fixed.

Heres the boneheaded reason. I wasn't using the sept 19 2004 kernel that came with 3.5.1
It was still using the sharp kernel, DOH. The reason is that my computer kept renaming the kernel zimage, and not zImage, Because of that it was not installing the new kernel. So even though vfat is not case sensitive, it still HAS to be named zImage.

thats just what i found.
