        I mailed this over to Alan, and he directed me to this address for
net/core maint issues.  BTW, the README in the net directory still lists
him as the maintainer.  I haven't seen this issue mentioned anywhere
else, which I find a bit odd and makes me suspect myself rather than an
error in the kernel.  But I've tried the compile with a few different
toolchains and consistently hit the same issue.

Hey Alan,
        You're listed as the maintainer for net/core in the 2.5 series
still.  If that isn't really the case please let me know - I'll try to
figure out who is.  I get a compile error if I turn off networking
completely in the 2.5 series (I tried a few of the prepatch versions, and
attached a patch against 2.5.1-pre11).  I doubt that this patch is the
correct way to address the issue, but it's been working for me.  I get
the following error when compiling:

In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/net/tcp.h:1036,
                 from sock.c:122:
/usr/src/linux/include/net/tcp_ecn.h: In function `TCP_ECN_send':
/usr/src/linux/include/net/tcp_ecn.h:54: union has no member named `af_inet'
/usr/src/linux/include/net/tcp_ecn.h:61: union has no member named `af_inet'

make[3]: *** [sock.o] Error 1

The errors are actually on INET_ECN_xmit and INET_ECN_dontxmit, which are
macro functions in include/net/inet_ecn.h and reference the af_inet field
of protinfo.  af_inet isn't included in protinfo unless networking is
configured on however.  I just nulled the functions, but the correct
answer might be to cut out the references to the macros all together
unless networking is on.  I leave it to hands more capable than my own to
determine the correct sollution.
