[Voyage-linux] Entry for ath_pci is missing in modules.pcimap after kernel upgrade

[Nicklas Blidmo]

Hi,
Sorry, forgot to mention that I did build my kernel using the voyage
kernel-source-2-6-14 ...and the config-2.6.14-486-voyage_2.0-6 file.

That instruction does not work and I think I have found out why, correct me
if I am wrong. When I configured the kernel source, the default settings
according to the .config-file was to build support for the Atheros-PCI into
the kernel, not as a module. I guess this means that I cannot load/unload
the ath_pci module dynamically? And that is why the ath_pci is missing in
the /lib/modules/uname -r/modules.pcimap.

I will build a new kernel with Atheros-PCI support built as a module and try
if it works.

Finally I would like to say thanks for a nice distro and the work you put
down sustaining and developing it.

/Nicklas
