Thank you for your response, Kristian

Hmm - I did try to insmod the p80211 1st (just below the the included stuff in the one of the posts - it probably got dumped) but got the following:

2 % insmod p80211
Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: unresolved symbol netlink_kernel_create
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: unresolved symbol netlink_broadcast

but I then tried to see if teh kernel had these symbols:

4 % nm /usr/src/linux/vmlinux  | grep netlink_kernel_create
c01bbf60 ? __kstrtab_netlink_kernel_create
c01bf638 ? __ksymtab_netlink_kernel_create
c0167be4 T netlink_kernel_create
 
5 % nm /usr/src/linux/vmlinux | grep netlink_broadcast
c01bbee0 ? __kstrtab_netlink_broadcast
c01bf628 ? __ksymtab_netlink_broadcast
c01676dc T netlink_broadcast

..implying my kernel is missing some required functionality?  What things do I have to add to to the kernel?  In trying to track backwords, I find:

root@bike:/usr/src/linux                                                                   7 % rgrep -r  __ksymtab_netlink_broadcast *
System.map:c01bf628 ? __ksymtab_netlink_broadcast
Binary file net/netsyms.o matches
Binary file net/sock_n_syms.o matches
Binary file net/network.a matches
Binary file vmlinux matches

So the symbol is incorporated into a number of networking libs, but isn't in any source code..?

Puzzled..
