Description C. Pohle 2005-08-29 11:39:38 UTC 
When trying to use an atheros-based PCMCIA W-LAN card (D-Link DWL-G650), I got 
the following dmesg'es: 
 
wlan: 0.8.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) 
ath_rate_sample: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. 
ath_rate_sample: no version for "ether_sprintf" found: kernel tainted. 
ath_rate_sample: Unknown symbol ath_hal_computetxtime 
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_tx_complete 
ath_pci: Unknown symbol _ath_hal_attach 
ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_attach

SOLUTION: 
 
I installed km_wlan-28pre8-10, recompiled and installed the madwifi-20050804 
kernel modules. Now WPA protected WLAN access works fine for me.
