Description of problem: modprobe fails to find a nework module with the new 3.5 kernel: # modprobe iwlwifi # ERROR: could not insert 'iwlwifi': No such file or directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: 1) yum update -y;reboot 2) iwlwifi does not load Actual results: module does not load. Expected results: module loads. Additional info: Can be fixed by pointing at the module: # insmod /usr/lib/modules/3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko # lsmod|grep wi iwlwifi 332312 0 mac80211 521833 1 iwlwifi cfg80211 192150 2 iwlwifi,mac80211
The issue was in a deprecated parameter: # insmod /lib/modules/3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko power_level=5 led_mode=1 power_save=1 no_sleep_autoadjust=0 Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko: Unknown symbol in module The offending part was no_sleep_autoadjust=0; after removal everything works.
