This patch * kills NET_RADIO * adds two new wireless driver menus for pre-802.11 and 802.11 * makes WIRELESS_EXT visible (to avoid the arguments we had in commit c1783454a31e05b94774951b0b5d1eb9075ebfb4) * changes everything that depended on NET_RADIO to select WIRELESS_EXT By removing NET_RADIO, these changes pave the way to making wireless extensions optional when cfg80211 can fully take over for some drivers and you don't have any older drivers that still require wext. These conflict with other changesets (notable Ivo's) but they should be easy to respin once those get in. This also depends on removing wext netlink, but it's trivial to do them w/o removing netlink wext of course. Though I think that the rtnetlink wext option shouldn't be under drivers so I'd move it in the case we don't want to remove it. johannes --- drivers/net/Makefile | 2 drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig | 100 +++++++++---------------- drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/Kconfig | 3 drivers/net/wireless/hostap/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/adm8211/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/bcm43xx/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/p54/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/rt2x00/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/rtl818x/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/zd1211rw/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/Kconfig | 3 net/Kconfig | 11 +- net/ieee80211/Kconfig | 3 net/wireless/Kconfig | 8 ++ 14 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 77 deletions(-) --- wireless-dev.orig/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig 2007-03-01 14:18:50.604246483 +0100 +++ wireless-dev/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig 2007-03-01 14:19:19.594246483 +0100 @@ -2,37 +2,13 @@ # Wireless LAN device configuration # -menu "Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)" +menu "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)" depends on NETDEVICES -config NET_RADIO - bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions" - select WIRELESS_EXT - ---help--- - Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio, - but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting. - - Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates - /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access).
