Apparently the cfg80211 module expects there to be a 'ksize' symbol which was not there. To be sure I checked that it was also unavailable in the 2.6.28.9 vanilla kernel. After some more looking around it turns out that this is the result of a recent patch submitted to the wireless-test tree, in which in fact the 'ksize' symbol IS exported in mm/sl*b.c. Indeed, if I revert the file net/wireless/scan.c to before commit ad80a7a983e36c6d8f4ae57e4c472deb9cf1391c, I find the wireless-compat modules to work perfectly. I hope I can help you with this information. Nevertheless, I am no kernel hacker. I am also not on the list, so please direct any further questions to my personal email address. Kind regards, Mathijs de Bruin
