Thanks for the replies. Rebuilding the mac8011 package was the trick I needed, plus the comment that Roman made with his package rebuild patch he just put out.
Rebuild procedure: - edit/save the code - cd build_dir/mac80211 - make clean - rm -f .built* - cd - - make package/mac80211/compile I tried Roman's corresponding patch, but didn't have much luck, but at least I can do what I need with the above procedure. Thanks!
