Replying to your earlier message, yes, 1mdk is newer than 0.18mdk.

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).
