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 Thanks, James
