Anyway, the OP has a problem in that the module he is trying to load was
not compiled for his kernel. We have no idea where he got it from.

Seems he has found a tar file somewhere and used the precompiled stuff in
there, I guess he missed to mention that when he multiposted.


It needs to be compiled for your kernel. Now I would be very very surprized
if there did not exist a Gentoo compiled version of the ath_ha1.ko module,
compiled for his kernel ( assuming he has not compiled a special kernel.)

It's quite simple for him to compile it toward the right kernel if he used the
package manager.
