Subject: [PATCH] create net/wireless/Kconfig and make nl80211 optional
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 11:42:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45DDF22D.9000003@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Move the wireless Kconfig options into their own wireless/Kconfig and
add a CONFIG_NL80211 configuration option to allow nl80211 support to be
optionally included (default =y)
