Hi,

I'm getting an error loading the atheros module with the 686 kernel. 
So I of course get no wireless.

The errors I'm getting are as follows.

On the Command Line:

sudo modprobe ath_pci
Password:
WARNING: Error inserting ath_rate_sample
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-8-686/madwifi/ath_rate_sample.ko): Unknown symbol
in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting ath_rate_onoe

format
FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-8-686/madwifi/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

and dmesg:

Everything is fine with the 386 kernel. btw, this is on a thinkpad T43.

Should I file a bug?

Chris
