[RFC] make ieee80211 invisible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




This makes CONFIG_IEEE80211 invisible. The drivers that require it
(ipw2100, ipw2200, hostap) select it, and everybody else really
shouldn't even think about using it. Also, since there really is
no point in compiling anything without crypto support these days,
remove the crypto options and just enable them, leaving only the
debugging option which only shows up when a driver is select that
requires it. This makes it hard to enable, but most people wouldn't
want to anyway.
