    Dear Redhat users,

    I am having problems getting my newly build Redhat 7.1 box to install a
    module for the NC7780 network card.

    I have followed the documented procedure to produce the binary object
    file which now resides at:
    /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o

    When I try to load this module file into the kernel, I receive lots of
    unresolved sysmbol messages eg.
    #insmod bcm5700.o
    unresolved symbol tasklet_wec_Rsmp_7c93d8c1
    plus many more unresolved symbols!

    Has anyone seen this before???

    Brief description of how I built the object file:
    1/ Installed the kernel-source RPM from install disk 2.
    2/ cd /usr/src/linux/2.4.2-2
    make mrproper
    make -e KERNELRELEASE=`uname -r` oldconfig
    make -e KERNELRELEASE=`uname -r` dep

    3/ Install the source RPM package:
    rpm -ivh bcm5700-6.0.2d-1.src.rpm

    4/ Built the binary RPM for the bcm5700 driver:
    cd /usr/src/redhat
    rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec

    5/ Install the new RPM package:
    rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm5700-6.0.2d-1.i386.rpm

    6/ Update /etc/modules.conf to add:
    alias eth0 bcm5700

    7/ Load the module into the kernel:
    insmod bcm5700.o

    This is where I get the errors ;-(

    Please help!

    Many thanks,
    Liz Stamp.
