Hello,
i apologize for being bothering you twice in three days but i was wondering whether someone has found reason why ndiswrapper does not load on 2.6.19-rc2-mm2.
NOTE: it seems to be related to tainting
I try to resume a bit:
__create_workqueue undefined symbol queue_work undefined symbol
After patching modules.c to remove tainting of ndiswrapper i got to load it without problems but it doesnt seem a modules.c problem (those symbols are EXPORT_GPL since at least 2.6.18), modules.c and workqueue.c are as of 2.6.16 kernel.
Is there any new ?
If i can tell my user opinion about tainting is that it s...cks in general, dont know any case in which it fits something, i mean in life not just linux kernel. One who uses ndiswrapper doest it at his own risk, a developer or debugger can manage... And the blacklist hardcoded in modules.c, as someone used to say couple days ago, seems really hard to carry on !
THanks to anyone who will find time to show me the light,
