[hardy] regresion rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol while using iwl3945

Sorry, it wasn't working in alpha 4 (linux 2.6.24-8) neither. I should check with an older live cd.

Ok, in fact, there is a revelant information in dmesg just before "Unknown symbol" errors :

[ 519.722102] usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
[ 520.028765] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 520.243160] ieee80211_init: failed to initialize WME (err=-17)
[ 520.248363] rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol ieee80211_register_hw
[ 520.248639] rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe
[ 520.248990] rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol ieee80211_ctstoself_get
[ 520.249118] rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol ieee80211_start_queues
[ 520.249367] rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol ieee80211_stop_queue
...

That bug is caused because register_qdisc() fails in mac80211.
And that seems to only be possible when the same Qdisc_ops is registered twice.

In the package I see you create a rt2x_mac80211 module, but that is not needed when you use the linux-wireless package you can simply use that mac80211 for all drivers (along with the other drivers provided in that package). Using 2 mac80211 versions will only lead to "bad things".

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Fixed in intrepid alpha5 (2.6.27-2)

Tests run to check that it was fixed :
- rmmod rt733usb (and iwl3945 if loaded)
- load module iwl3945
- load rt73usb
- try to connect using rt73 based wifi adaptor => it works.

(In fact, iwl3945 doesn't use iwlwifi_mac80211 anymore, but use standard mac80211 instead).
