I've just "upgraded" what was a working Debian workstation to Ubuntu and
am
very surprised to find that there's no support for the Broadcom
ethernet BCM5788
that I _was_ using for several months. I've been trying to work my way
through
the circuitous Ubuntu way of creating a module that I thought would be
in the base
system.
> Type "sudo m-a" and select "PREPARE" (creates a link in /usr/src to
the headers)
> then exit and:
> $ sudo m-a build bcm5700
> $ sudo m-a install bcm5700
These work, although after the first step i get told to run
"m-a install bcm5700-source"
This ends up with a module in
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686-smp/bcm/bcm5700.ko
However, attempting to load it results in:
fafnir:/lib/modules# modprobe bcm5700
FATAL: Error inserting bcm5700
(/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686-smp/bcm/bcm5700.ko): Invalid module format
fafnir:/lib/modules# uname -r
2.6.11-1-686-smp
>From 'dmesg':
bcm5700: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
Can anyone help?
thanks.
