---------------------------
What: Wireless extensions over netlink (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK)
When: with the merge of wireless-dev, 2.6.22 or later
Why: The option/code is
* not enabled on most kernels
* not required by any userspace tools (except an experimental one,
and even there only for some parts, others use ioctl)
* pointless since wext is no longer evolving and the ioctl
interface needs to be kept
Who: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
---------------------------
What: i8xx_tco watchdog driver
When: in 2.6.22
Why: the i8xx_tco watchdog driver has been replaced by the iTCO_wdt

Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless

bool "Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink"
depends on WIRELESS_EXT
---help---
Support the Wireless Extension API over the RtNetlink socket
in addition to the traditional ioctl interface (selected above).
For now, few tools use this facility, but it might grow in the
future. The only downside is that it adds 4.5 kB to your kernel.
