Subject: [PATCH] wireless extensions should default to Y

Do we need following patch on top of
24a0aa212ee2dbe44360288684478d76a8e20a0a revert?

I updated kernel today, and (probably because extensions were not
selectable before), the default choice was "N", which is wrong:
oldconfig should result in compatible choices being made, for example
to help bisect.
