It seems to work...but I'll load the resulting kernel shortly
to see if it continues to work...  Thanks for the warning...

I don't have to re-compile all of the user-space apps, do I?

No, not to me, because the packet printed out looked perfectly valid
as it was handed to the rest of the kernel (netif_rx), and the built-in
ethernet driver (for the 10bt interface) worked just fine.  Considering
I only re-compiled the orinoco, that seems to imply that the orinoco was
wrong in some way...but again, the bytes seemed to be correct.

Can you detect any invalid bytes in the messages I posted last night?

Any other reason you can think of that the compile option fixed
the problem?



Thanks,
Ben
