Hi,

I just want to know, what happen with 2.6.26 kernel sources? I've 
installed (compiled and copy all KO's to kernel modules directory, run 
init script loading modules) of RTL-8187B Wireless Card but error occured:

This things started after updating to 2.6.26 from 2.6.24. My last kernel 
used this drivers without any errors. What's wrong?

This driver is in the kernel in 2.6.26; enable the in-kernel driver
instead. Note also that you can not compile modules against 2.6.24 and
expect them to work against 2.6.26
