Please, help me with at76c503a and recent Linux packages...

[Rui Miguel Seabra]

Hi,

  I've been making RPMS for my machine of at76c503a and have recently
sent upstream a patch for rpm making.

  However, I have a huge problem that's bound to get worse without help,
and I know little of kernel module building to understand the problem.

  I'm running Fedora Core (from the development rawhide tree), so this
problem will be happening on FC4... quite likely.

  When I load the module with Linux 2.6.10-1.1090_FC4, I see the
following:

Feb  4 21:37:21 roque kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Feb  4 21:37:22 roque modprobe: WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.1090_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/at76c503/at76_usbdfu.ko': No such file or directory
Feb  4 21:37:22 roque modprobe: WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.1090_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/at76c503/at76c503.ko': No such file or directory
Feb  4 21:37:22 roque modprobe: FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.1090_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/at76c503/at76c505-rfmd2958.ko': No such file or directory

Ah... I forgot to rebuild with lower kernel again... so I disconnect,
rebuild for the older Linux again, and put it in again:

Feb  4 21:37:28 roque kernel: usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 2
Feb  4 21:38:23 roque kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3

So all this works, ok? Now... lets go to Linux 2.6.10-1.1124_FC4

Feb  4 21:33:30 roque kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

So you see, it _is_bad_ but I can't find a way to solve this...

Any help?
