[SOLVED] Can't load rt2x00 / rt61pci

I'm trying to load the rt2x00 drivers for my rt61 based card, following the wiki article. However, I get a strange error:

$ modprobe rt61pci
FATAL: Module rt61 not found.

So what makes this so strange?

$ modprobe rt61p
FATAL: Module rt61 not found.
$ modprobe rt691_and_then_clean_the_house
FATAL: Module rt61 not found.
$ modprobe rt
FATAL: Module rt61 not found.
$ modprobe r
FATAL: Module r not found.

So that leads me to believe that there's some issue with how the module is being located. But then, errors in dmesg:

$ dmesg | /bin/grep rt61
rt61: version magic '2.6.26-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload 686 ' should be '2.6.27-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload 686 '

rt61pci: Unknown symbol rt2x00pci_write_tx_data

Here's some more outputs to show that everything is where it should be:

$ ls /lib/firmware/rt*
/lib/firmware/rt2561.bin   /lib/firmware/rt2661.bin  /lib/firmware/rt2x00debug.c  /lib/firmware/rt2x00debug.o
/lib/firmware/rt2561s.bin  /lib/firmware/rt2661.h    /lib/firmware/rt2x00debug.h  /lib/firmware/rt73.bin

$ ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00
rt2400pci.ko  rt2500pci.ko  rt2500usb.ko  rt2x00lib.ko  rt2x00pci.ko  rt2x00usb.ko  rt61pci.ko  rt73usb.ko

$ lspci | /bin/grep RT
06:02.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

Anyone know what's going on? TIA

Try running "depmod -a".

No joy...

$ depmod -a
$ modprobe rt61pci
FATAL: Module rt61 not found.

Ok, looks like I'm an idiot:

I had "alias rt* rt61" in a file in /etc/modprobe.d, so that's what the problem was.

Some things you gotta learn the hard way...

Thanks to bioe007 and twofishes for the help on IRC.
