I have had the same problem with the module, the symbol was already in
ksyms.c, somehow it's not recognized.
Compiling 3c509.c into the kernel, it works.
There is something strange with modutils-2.1.121 and recent snapshots
here. modules.dep shows the directories, but no modules, it's possible
that something has changed and /etc/modules.conf needs to have them
specified there, I've messed about with a few lines in modules.conf to
no effect, mind you, the documentation about what needs to be in there
is as clear as mud. I can't figure it out as I have all the pre-reqs at
or above those recommended in the Changes file. I've been forced to use
the patched version of modutils-2.1.85 which but for 3c509.o works fine.
