Indeed...Mea Culpa, fixed and tested.

Minor? I was annoyed. Fixed.

Right...again, my mistake. Fixed. I got caught when it recompiled because it did not delete the objects when I did 'make dep clean zImage'. A manual object deletion fixed that. When this stuff is in the kernel tree (rather than being a symlink) this problem will go away.

Hmmm, just noticed this! Nifty.

I suspect what happened here is that you did not do a 'make dep clean' after running 'make *config'. Just a guess. net/network.a should only have these present if you static link, not module.

Thanks for the report!
