Hi,

When I insmod aironet4500_core and aironet4500_card, the last one
disables the pci342 nic (the leds go out).

root@tilde:~# uname -r
2.4.1-ac8
root@tilde:~# insmod aironet4500_core
Using /lib/modules/2.4.1-ac8/kernel/drivers/net/aironet4500_core.o
Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.1-ac8/kernel/drivers/net/aironet4500_core.o
symbol for parameter rx_queue_len not found
root@tilde:~# insmod aironet4500_card
Using /lib/modules/2.4.1-ac8/kernel/drivers/net/aironet4500_card.o

This is in /var/log/syslog:

Feb 9 16:43:25 tilde kernel: aironet4500.c v0.1 1/1/99 Elmer Joandi, elmer@ylenurme.ee.
Feb 9 16:43:34 tilde kernel: aironet4500_cards.c v0.2 Feb 27, 2000 Elmer Joandi, elmer@ylenurme.ee.
Feb 9 16:43:34 tilde kernel:

Until I insmod the aironet4500_card, the yellow led is on. A rmmod
doesn't change a thing. According to the documentation, both leds off
means "no power" or "an error". -ac7 is the same (there is extra stuff
for aironet4500 in -ac8).

I compile the kernel on a different computer, and then transfer bzImage,
the modules directory and System.map to the computer with the pci card.
I don't think it should make a difference though.

Can I provide more info on this? What can I do to help to solve this?
