Message-ID: <454079F5.3040204@abinetworks.biz> Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 11:03:49 +0200 From: Gianluca Alberici <gianluca@...networks.biz> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org> CC: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: incorrect taint of ndiswrapper Hello, i apologize for being bothering you twice in three days but i was wondering whether someone has found reason why ndiswrapper does not load on 2.6.19-rc2-mm2. NOTE: it seems to be related to tainting I try to resume a bit: __create_workqueue undefined symbol queue_work undefined symbol After patching modules.c to remove tainting of ndiswrapper i got to load it without problems but it doesnt seem a modules.c problem (those symbols are EXPORT_GPL since at least 2.6.18), modules.c and workqueue.c are as of 2.6.16 kernel. Is there any new ? If i can tell my user opinion about tainting is that it s...cks in general, dont know any case in which it fits something, i mean in life not just linux kernel. One who uses ndiswrapper doest it at his own risk, a developer or debugger can manage... And the blacklist hardcoded in modules.c, as someone used to say couple days ago, seems really hard to carry on !
