The packet generator doesn't compile if procfs is disabled.
IIRC, there was an agreement that this dependency is needed:

Hello Marcelo,
I appear to have missed a small fix, although it won't affect
anyone for a while to come;

Applied, thanks Geert. Can you cook up a 2.6.x variant as well
if that is needed too?

Thanks again.

2.6.6-rc2 already has

config NET_PKTGEN
tristate "Packet Generator (USE WITH CAUTION)"
depends on PROC_FS
