I'm not seeing anything horrible per se in what it's doing - If you can provide a list of the files it should be listing I'd be appreciative.

For instance on a $random machine with a 2.6.9 tree open on it that I have at work I'm seeing:

[netlink]$ ls af_netlink.c af_netlink.o built-in.o Makefile netlink_dev.c netlink_dev.o [netlink]$ pwd ..../linux-2.6.9/net/netlink [netlink]$

So yeah - some further information on the problem your seeing would be helpful as I don't have a tree checked out either right now.
