Commit 24a0aa212ee2 ("cfg80211: make WEXT compatibility unselectable")
made it impossible to depend on CFG80211_WEXT. It does still allow to
select that symbol. (Yes, the commit summary is confusing.)
So make IPW2200 select CFG80211_WEXT, so that the ipw2200 driver can be
built again.I think the last sentence is a bit misleading (this isn't a compilation error, right?) and I would like to clarify it like this: "So make IPW2200 select CFG80211_WEXT, so that the ipw2200 driver can be enabled in config again." Does that look ok? -- Kalle Valo
