[Voyage-linux] unstable kernel config / build problem

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi Bill,

The ubuntu 2.6.15 kernel is heavy patched.  It is more advanced and a 
lot closer to 2.6.16/17.  I didn't patch any ieee80211.  It comes with 
the ubuntu kernel.  But I can compile it successfully with make-kpkg.   
Moreover, I have lost the the original ubuntu source so that I can trace it.

The latest ubuntu kernel I am using have no such problem.  I will upload 
the latest kernel to my contrib directory on alpha shortly, so that can 
test it.
