Ack, but we'll need to modify core.h to stub out nl80211_init() and
nl80211_exit() in case nl80211 isn't compiled in. The reason this worked
for you is that I forgot to hook up nl80211 completely ;)

Do you want me to take care of that?`
Something like this?

Yup. I'd prefer this instead, and then rolled into your original patch
so it applies after my hookup patch.

Ya, I guess that follows standard kernel guidelines more... I tend to find it a lot easier in resolving problems with short spanning ifdef's sprinkled in code vs. hidden functionality in header files that changes based on CONFIG options. But alas, I think I am in the minority on that.

I'll resend my prior 'make nl80211 optional' patch adding below to it.

Thanks,
James
