Subject: [PATCH] refactor wireless Kconfig
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:34:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070423183443.GD5883@tuxdriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070423183334.GC5883@tuxdriver.com>

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

This patch refactors the wireless Kconfig all over and already
introduces net/wireless/Kconfig with just the WEXT bit for now,
the cfg80211 patch will add to that as well.
