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.

Johannes,

Building v3.19-rc1 for an outdated ThinkPad X41 left me without the
ipw2200 driver. It turns out this trivial patch is all that's needed to
make ipw2200 buildable again.

(A similar patch would be needed for the drivers behind Kconfig symbol
HERMES. Ie, orinico and friends.) 

Yeah, config HERMES needs the same change.

Kalle, do you want to take those through your tree, or should I fix it
seeing that I introduced the bug in a sense?

To keep things simple I would prefer to take this through
wireless-drivers.git, if it's ok for you.
