Thanks, I tried this in combination with Indan's .owner patch. It gets
rid of the warnings about WLAN_HOSTIF, WLAN_PCI etc not being defined,
but does not solve the problem of the p80211 build not happening and
consequent errors. It reduced the length of the build log from 11680
lines to 11626.

It's from updates-released:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4.i686.rpm

I'm not personally very bothered about this as I'm sticking with
2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 until a bug gets fixed that blocks s2k disconnects
and so causes my Athlon XP to run 15 degrees C hotter. This is still
broken in kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4. But I thought it was worth
reporting the build problem in case other people run into it.

Thanks,

Dave
