Hello, I want to add wireless capability to my Gentoo-linux based
firewall/router at home, so I bought a Netgear MA311 PCI and installed
the hostap package. I load the hostap_pci module and the wlan0 interface
comes up fine. I can detect the signal from a wireless enabled laptop.

Now I'm thinking I'm going to bridge the wlan0 interface and the eth1
interface, and run the firewall with br0 as the internal interface. I
compiled the kernel (2.4.23) with
CONFIG_BRIDGE=m
but when I modprobe bridge, I get this stuff:

/lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: unresolved symbol br_ioctl_hook
/lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: unresolved symbol 
br_handle_frame_hook
/lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: insmod bridge failed

I can't figure it out. Do I need to patch the kernel? (I thought 2.4.21
and beyond needed no patches.) Do I need to configure something else?

Thanks in advance.
