The patch below (should apply against 2.6.15-rc2) fixes this issue.

Adrian
<-- snip -->
2.6.15-rc changes NET_CLS to being automatically select'ed when needed.
This patch confuses users since NET_CLS is a bool, and compiling an
additional module that select's NET_CLS causes unresolved symbols since
it's not user-visible that adding a module changes the kernel image.
This patch therefore changes NET_CLS back to the 2.6.14 status quo of
being an user-visible option.
