Hi
I installed Angstrom dist. on BB and inthe directory /lib/modules/
2.6.32/kernel/drivers there are alotof modules for drivers.
And also in the directory /lib/modules/2.6.32/kernel/drivers/net/
wireless/rt2x00 there are module files for Ralink chip set wifi usb
dongle drivers. how can I install these drivers to system?
In the direct. rt2x00 there are 4 files like ;
rt2500usb.ko rt2x00lib.ko rt2x00usb.ko rt73usb.ko
When I use insmod command like
insmod rt2x00usb.ko
rt2x00usb: no symbol version for struct_module
insmod: error inserting './rt2x00usb.ko': -1 Invalid module format
also for modprobe ;
FATAL: Module rt2x00usb.ko not found.
these error messages.
So, How can I install this and other drivers from kernel ?Which step
is wrong ? or Is there any different way to install the module ?

same error
I serached different pages and saw something like "I must build the
kernel firstly" but I dont know if I understand truely. Do you have
any idea like this? My kernel image is Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-
image-glibc-ipk-2010.3-beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2 that downloaded
from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
Same errors for any other modules. I tried to use Huawei 3G modem
with ppp module but samely I could not install
Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2010.3-beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2
I assume that this is not kernel image, but tar’ed content of rootfs. Kernel image usually looks like uImage_something.
Probably, you problem is that modules were build against different kernel version.
Do you get a kernel message when you tried the autoload, perhaps the same message? You can check with 'dmesg'.
The file you mention is a root file system, not a kernel. Be sure to make your kernel and module versions to match. You can find kernels and associated modules at that same link. The kernel is typically stored in the FAT partition, but the modules are expanded into the root file system.
