Luis,
It would be nice to see this pushed into the latest compat-wireless.
It's helpful for people using a 2.6.33 kernel and needing the latest b43
updates for our Atom-based netbooks! :)

Sorry been meaning to reply, reason I haven't applied it is this seems
wrong, we should be able to build kernels with 802.11 without wext
crap on new kernels. Perhaps only add the requirement for kernels
older than 2.6.33?

Please do not disable wext until nl80211 can really replace it.
There are some things than nl80211 can't do yet (eg. txpower)

wext is already disabled by default if you don't have a driver that requires it.

Sure, that's the only thing I'm aware of.

Not yet:
config CFG80211_WEXT
bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"
depends on CFG80211
select WEXT_CORE
default y
help
Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
