[Voyage-linux] ath5k: version magic '3.0.0 SMP preempt mod_unload 486 ' should be '3.0.0-voyage SMP preempt mod_unload 486 '

[Alfonso Fiore]

Hello,

I use voyage 0.8.0 on an ALIX 3d3 with dcma81 802.11 a/b/g wireless card.

I wanted to edit compat-wireless sources to enable 5 GHz channels.

After a few days of tests I realized the updated driver never gets loaded:

# modinfo ath5k
filename:
/lib/modules/3.0.0-voyage/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko

# find / | grep ath5k.ko
/lib/modules/3.0.0-voyage/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko
/lib/modules/3.0.0/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko
/root/compat-wireless-3.3-rc1-2/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko
/root/compat-wireless-3.3-rc1-2/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/.ath5k.ko.cmd

I always reboot after "make install".

if I simply overwrite
/lib/modules/3.0.0-voyage/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko
with my module, the module doesn't load and I see this error in dmesg:

[    9.055704] ath5k: version magic '3.0.0 SMP preempt mod_unload 486
' should be '3.0.0-voyage SMP preempt mod_unload 486 '

Can you please suggest how to fix this?

Thanks,
alfonso
