Well sure if you don't want to see any intel driver on that section, and there are plenlty of Intel wireless drivers. > Putting them side-by-side in Kconfig > is fine, but do people really want to (de-)select Intel drivers as > a group? Well I do, for instance, just as I expect Intel folks may want to just disable Atheros drivers when developing, and just as I expect Broadcom developers to just care about Broadcom drivers, and the same goes for Ralink. Intel clutter on the main driver kconfig was really my main motivation to start this. I understand if you don't see much point to it though.
