Ah, it seems ieee80211_ptr doesn't cause the problem, make unmodified

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

ieee80211_sysfs doesn't seem to exist in {pre,post}/net/mac80211/
neither in /usr/src/linux.
should it have been in the mac80211-7.0.4 tarball?
Thanks,
Dick

Thanks a lot, it now compiles fine again!

I see the problem now :)
ieee80211_sysfs.c is provided as part of Yi's pending/ patch to adding the sysfs attributes for QoS, and the add_net_dev patch is built against that code. I've checked in a new version of the mac80211 subsystem's build scripts that corrects for this behavior. I've build tested on 2.6.20-gentoo-r6 w/ both 'make patch_kernel' and 'make patch_kernel_unmodified' (which uses the unmodified (no 'pending' sources)
You can find it as mac80211-7.0.5.tgz at http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=mac80211&n=downloads
