Hi there,

i've just finish to install with success kamikaze 7.09 on a fonera 2100.
All went fine but modules insmod fail on the boot process.

I've tried to change insmod to insmod -f on function.sh to force modules insert but it fails with this strange error:

root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# insmod -f wlan
insmod: -f.ko: no module by that name found
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config#         

another strange think is that from ipkg result installed kernel - 2.6.21.5-atheros-1 but i've got this:

root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# uname -a
Linux OpenWrt 2.6.22.1 #1 Fri Jul 13 04:00:34 BST 2007 mips unknown
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# 

So wifi doesn't work. Any suggestion on how can i recompile modules or insert that ones?

Nice regards, Riccardo Giuntoli.

The kernel version of the modules (drivers) does not match the one from the running (or installed) kernel.
Where did you download what? It looks like you downloaded the openwrt images from a different source or release than the modules.
So download everything from the same location or rebuild everything from the source.

Another thing to watch out for with 2.6 on broadcom board is the random seg fault issue ticket 2035

The discussion might have continued from here.
