hi all,

I am writing/customizing a network(wlan pc card) device driver for Linux
kernel 2.6.12
Think about I have two modules e.g. ath_pci and wlan module.
I can call a function from a   .c file which is implemented in a  .c 
file in
quoted
wlan module by using EXPORT_SYMBOL macro..

and i need to do same in reverse way, i.e. call a function from wlan 
module
quoted
that is implemented in ath_pci module.

I did the same way and its making but when I do  make install its 
showing
quoted
following error:

WARNING: Loop detected: /lib/modules/2.6.12/net/ath_pci.ko needs wlan.ko
which needs ath_pci.ko again!

Please anybody tell how can I do this, any clue , please ?

thanx in advance

n.b. this question may consider as very naive since I am not good yet in
kernel hacking.. !!!!

regards,
/Frank
Where are these open source drivers so the wireless developers can help?
