Hugh,
you missed to configure "CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=y" in your .config - set it to
'y' and the problem is gone.... In menuconfig it is found with networking
options - "Netlink device emulation".
I don't really know what this thing is used
for - it says something about "backward compatability"
HTH,
Daniel Wirth
