Subject: CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT is neccessary after all
From: Horms <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.17-mm2/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko
needs unknown symbol wireless_spy_update
Someone removed the `#ifdef CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT' from around the callsite
in net/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c and didn't update Kconfig appropriately.
The offending patchset seems to be 35c14b855f52c49e4f3d078b9532b056005ed321
which is tittled
[PATCH] ieee80211: remove unnecessary CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT checking
After a quick look it seems that wireless_spy_update() lives in
net/core/wirless.c, and that file is only compiled if CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT
is set. Perhaps this is Kconig work, but in the mean time here is a
reversal of the recent change.
