I am trying to build a MythTV system, running Mandrake. (I've tried 9.1 and now back to 9.0).

Under neither Mandrake distribution have I been able to get the driver for the ADM8211 wireless ethernet cards to compile such that they will load at boot time.

depmod -a shows:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-35mdkcustom/kernel/drivers/net/8211.o

Yet if I boot the machine, and do an insmod 8211.o, it works fine.

The source is available at: download/ADM8211.htm on the admtek.tw website.

What is missing from the link to resolve these dependencies?
