Subject: [PATCH] lib80211: make crypt modules configurable by user
Date: Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:46:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259711174.13720.17.camel@MacRitz2> (raw)
Make the crypt modules configurable by user. Normally drivers select them
when needed, but out-of-tree drivers can't do that. Having a minimal
kernel with just the things required won't select any of those modules,
resulting in the external driver to be close to useless (ie. it can scan
the networks, but cannot join a single one).
