bnx2: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel

[what's the issue?]

bnx2: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.

 

[why does it happen?]

That the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y but the
module was built with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n (i.e., without
symbol versioning information).

 

[How to get rid of this?]

Build the kernel and module with the same config options.

 

[Action]

run "make" to compile the driver, not "make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/net/"

but if Module.symvers exist, you can run "make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/net/" to compile it.
