Add a build warning if CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT can not be activated. wireless_handlers is only avaliable if the kernel was build with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT. Add a kernel log warning if CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT is activated but we do not have CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT, so we ware unable to attach the wireless_handlers for wext.
