I'm booting a debian jessie and have WiFi working without CFG80211_WEXT for example. That doesn't mean that I'm against your patch (I'm always happy to enable more config options if that makes the defconfig more useful) but the commit message should be accurate about why a change has to be done. > Signed-off-by: Michal Suchanek <hramrach@xxxxxxxxx> > --- Best regards, Javier -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
