Can't build net-next-2.6 without CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH

Can't build net-next-2.6 without CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH

[Brian Haley]

Sorry if this has been discussed/fixed already, but I just noticed last 
night I couldn't build net-next-2.6:

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#71)
ERROR: "mpp_path_lookup" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "mpp_path_add" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!

These are defined in net/mac80211/mesh_pathtbl.c, but being called from 
rx.c and tx.c, but I'm not building the mesh files:

--> grep CONFIG_MAC80211 .config
CONFIG_MAC80211=m
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_PID=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT="pid"
# CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU is not set

make oldconfig didn't make any changes, so I think the config is valid.

I have the fix queued in wireless-testing -- I think/thought Dave
is/was traveling, so I didn't rush to push it to net-next-2.6.
I'll get that pull request assembled today.  In the meantime, just
enable CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH.

Thanks,

John
