module error

and you are sure that you are running the kernel compiled with the click
patch and that you compiled click while that kernel was running (and that
you also build everything starting from a clean tree) ?

We don't use the 2.4.9 kernel, but the 2.2.19 kernel, because of
performance problems with 2.4.9 (but it worked).

I'm not sure why the unresolved symbol pops up. (have you compiled the
kernel for the right processor ?) Maybe the other click people can help.

well, this is not the right way to use click-install. The argument should
be a router config file (as e.g. in the conf/ directory) and click-install
will load click.o if necessary.

This is the same as manually doing an insmod and a cat routerconfig >
/proc/click/config approximately.
