Hello,
I believe I have solved my problem, I changed the Makefile in
/usr/src/linux/net/core/Makefile.
I changed the following line:
export-objs := netfilter.o profile.o
to this:
export-objs := netfilter.o profile.o dev.o
Now it does compile fine, I will test it out and try to provide some feedback.
Michael.
