I am reposting this earlier from comp.os.linux.networking as I am running
out
of time to fix this.
-------------------------------------------
I have Redhat 2.4.20-28.9 and DLINK PCI wireless card ( DWL-520 ).
Initially RDHT 9.0 with kernel 2.4.20-6 was installed in system ((P3)
Gateway 2000).
Subsequently system updated to kernel.2.4.20-28.9.rpm so that the wlan
drivers
would be compatible with the kernel.

To detect the pci NIC I have loaded the following RPMS
kernel-wlan-ng-usb-0.2.1-pre14
kernel-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre14
kernel-wlan-ng-modules-rh9.28-0.2.1-pre14

During booting I get
Unresolved symbols in
p80211.o
prism2_pci.o
prism2_plx.o
prism2_cs.o
prism2_usb.o

Also lsmod does not list any prism_* modules or p80211 module.

Looking forward to some help.

Thanks,
-Joydeep
