My mistake. But anyway there is bug in net/Makefile ;) Look,
root@valinor:/usr/src/linux# head -4 Makefile VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 4 SUBLEVEL = 0 EXTRAVERSION = -test9 root@valinor:/usr/src/linux# grep ^mod-subdirs net/Makefile mod-subdirs := ipv4/netfilter ipv6/netfilter ipx irda atm
mod-subdirs not include netlink, hence, modules from this dir (netlink_dev.o) will not compile and install. So, adding netlink to the end of the list will improve situation.
SY, Vladimir Klenov
