No module symbols loaded
I'm using SuSE 9.1 upgraded to latest via YAST. Kernel is 2.6.5-7.111.19-default. The boot message says: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.5-7.111.19-default Loaded 23749 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.5-7.111.19-default. Symbols match kernel version 2.6.5. No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled. I have the same problem on a Dell 1150 laptop which prevents me from using the ndiswrapper thingie for my wifi. I have searched Google, read TFM and lists on this problem but have not found a way to cure the problem. Can anyone tell me how to get the proper symbols stuff loaded?

Install the kernel-syms package. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.10-default x86_64

I did that already but it didn't make any difference. Is there any special finger magic I should do after the install. ra -- Old age ain't for Sissies!

Not that I know of, what exactly is the problem with ndiswrapper? Works fine on my laptop here even with that boot message. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.10-default x86_64

I go through all the steps to install it. It installs the drivers. I do ndiswrapper -l and it shows I have the bcmwl5 driver installed. I do modprobe ndiswrapper and that works as well. Then I do ifconfig and no wlan0 is found. I do ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig wlan0 up but no wlan0. iwconfig does not show wlan0. Will show sit0 eth0 iwlist is installed, yet iwlist wlan0 scan will give me an error that there is no wlan0 around. /etc/sysconfig/network/ contains ifcfg-wlan0 with all the correct settings. Yast will setup the pcmcia card as it is supposed to but again, nothing when I do ifconfig wlan0 or iwconfig wlan0. I look at the boot messages and I find it says Interface wlan0 is not available. I have tried to go through the ndiswrapper stuff with another card, an airlink, and I have the same problem. I can use the same cards on another laptop using the same ndiswrapper setup. I'm stumped! Sure hope you can help. ra -- Old age ain't for Sissies!

Well, not sure I can help, but I am pretty sure that your boot msg issue is completely unrelated to your ndiswrapper issue. I had a devil of a time getting ndiswrapper to work on my laptop, took me literally months to solve it. In my case, the problem was that SuSE had left an old version of the module on my system and that was interfering with the later version I had downloaded and installed. First thing I would check for is multiple copies of ndiswrapper.ko on your system (assuming you have the locate util installed, do a locate ndiswrapper.ko). The other thing is check out the post in the forum here... http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=4327 I found it very helpful in getting mine to work.

I KNEW THAT! So why didn't I do it earlier? Cause I thought I had. I had to do it on my other laptop a couple of weeks ago. Even going through that exercise wasnt enough. For some reason I couldn't get ifconfig down to disable the NIC and enable the pcmcia card to take the essid until I booted into xp and set the card up there. When I went back to suse it all fell into place. It's all black magic! I got off onto the symbols thing when I went searching through the net for some answers. Thanks for putting me straight.

When I loaded 9.2 I dutifully extracted the ndiswrapper source and attempted to compile it and had real problems. Then, one day, I was installing something from the media and there it was: ndiswrapper already compiled & ready to use. That one worked immediately. I presume you have not tried SuSE's version if you are having so much problem. If I'm wrong I don't know how to help. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio Closed 15DEC - 3JAN
