Ah, I see what you mean. Here's what's happening: net/wireless/Kconfig says: config WEXT_CORE def_bool y depends on CFG80211_WEXT || WIRELESS_EXT and net/Kconfig says: if WIRELESS source "net/wireless/Kconfig" source "net/mac80211/Kconfig" endif # WIRELESS so WEXT_CORE actually depends on NET && WIRELESS && (CFG80211_WEXT || WIRELESS_EXT) (that's what xconfig shows me). But WIRELESS is not enabled. Pooh. I was already toying with making CONFIG_WIRELESS a real/usable kconfig symbol. That may have to be done unless someone else comes up with another solution. --- ~Randy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
