Hello.  Anybody there?

This is what you get with 2.6.0-test6 plain vanilla:

[rddunlap@midway linux-260-test6-work]$ make modules
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.o
drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.c: In function `init_module':
drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.c:1923: `probe' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.c:1923: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.c:1923: for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/wireless] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


so is MODULE_PARM(probe, "i");
supposed to be declaring <probe>?  It's not.
If it is supposed to be, then why are most/many/all other MODULE_PARM's
in that file also declared separately (i.e., again)?


The only wrong part I see is that it doesn't need to be init to 0.
