From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 19:26:44 +0000 (+0200) Subject: wext: default to y X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~12983^2~730 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=898324025fc12132d3ed98f8baf4fb3fa45327e0;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git wext: default to y The way I initially thought we could do wireless extensions is by making all the compat code in cfg80211 be independent of CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT, but this is turning out to not be feasible. Therefore, fix the Kconfig help text and make the option default to yes, so people won't get a nasty surprise when mac80211 will get rid of its 'select WIRELESS_EXT' any time now.
