Replying to your earlier message, yes, 1mdk is newer than 0.18mdk.  You took
1mdk from cooker, no?

There was a mistype in the Config.in file that is being referenced.  This is
a known bug and will be corrected in the next kernel update.  In the
meantime, edit drivers/net/Config.in, line 193 and change define_bool to
define_mbool (or the other way around, I don't remember).  That should fix
it.
