Hi,

We have to copy the Module.symvers from p80211 to get the prism2 driver
to build properly under the new kernel build system.

we added this to the prism2 Makefile :-

 ifeq ($(KERN_2_6_17), y)
        cp $(WLAN_SRC)/p80211/Module*.symvers .
        $(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_SRC) M='$(PWD)' WLAN_SRC=$(WLAN_SRC) modules

So I guess if your kernel backported the new build system you'll need to
do that too. 

Cheers
Richard
