Thanks for that. iirc the F16 install is a 3.1 kernel but the upgrade is 
to 3.2. I upgraded as part of the install. My imon device is a 15c2:ffdc 
unit without the knob. (One of a number of not-quite-the-same imon units 
hiding under the same device id, which could be part of the problem.)

As a quick-start, I'll reboot into the 3.1 kernel before patching and 
compiling (Aaaah grey cells don't fail me now! It's been 2 years since I 
rebuilt a module and it was the imon module then too!)
