Hi,
Please use a newline every 70-72 characters. Some email clients don't do automatic
line wrapping -- they just make the user scroll to the right to see very long lines.

in menuconfig or nconfig:
Notice that 'Debugging options' is not indented under iwlwifi, but listed at the
same indent level. That is a huge clue.
in xconfig:
The 'Debugging options' menu is displayed, but it's not where you expect or want
it to be found. Look under 'Wireless LAN' and immediately under 'Atheros Wireless Cards'
and it says 'Debugging options' (on the left panel). Then the debugging options are
displayed in the right hand panel.
This is a common problem. I have made Kconfig patches for it several times.
Here is another one. Works for me.

Fix iwlwifi options so that they all depend on IWLWIFI and are
displayed under the iwlwifi driver instead of in other unexpected
places.
