I personally enable the driver to be selected directly and
then SELECT the 802.11 stack, the same way you SELECT the firmware
loader. The logic is that the user doesn't really care how it's
implemented under the cover (via the 802.11 stack or not), he just
want to make his hardware work. A good example of this logic is the
Aironet driver (PCI versus Pcmcia).
Good idea; I took that approach for the ipw2200 submission (just sent).
But, those are trivial matter that can be discussed and
resolved long after the driver is in the kernel, so no need to respin
your patch. Anyway, most people use distro kernels that have all
options enabled...
Apart from that, congratulation on the excellent work...
Thanks,
James
Have fun...
