PCI Relay Card Drivers On Ubuntu 9.04

[IMMiniMii]

So I am trying to install the drivers for the Advantech PCI 1761 relay card, and annoyingly, I have to compile them from the source, since Advantech doesn't offer preset drivers for any form of linux beside RedHat and Debian.

I think I am doing this correctly.

I have two .ko files

advdrv_core.ko
pci1761.ko

the first one is required for all advantech cards, the second one is specific to my relay card.

I installed the first module fine by using:

sudo insmod advdrv_core.ko


but when I do:

sudo insmod pci1761.ko

I get the following errors:
[14192.558039] pci1761: Unknown symbol adv_process_info_check_event
[14192.558236] pci1761: no symbol version for advdrv_unregister_driver

theses are actually only two, there are like 100 sets of unknown symbol errors.

The strange thing is that the first .ko file, advdrv.ko, references the same symbols, yet it installed fine. What Gives? Any ideas? I really need this module to get installed.

These drivers were updated March 10th, 2010.

Just a remark. Is there a reason not to use
> dpkg -i <package>.deb ?

Remember, that Ubuntu is a Debian off-shoot. This is a good idea to try.
