Subject: [PATCH] Select WIRELESS_EXT for the rndis_wlan driver to compile

The rndis_wlan.ko module needs the function wireless_send_event, which
is not included if the option WIRELESS_EXT is not selected by the
driver.  Otherwise, the user gets compilation problems like:

,----
| (...)
| Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#3)
|   Building modules, stage 2.
|   MODPOST 427 modules
| ERROR: "wireless_send_event" [drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.ko] undefined!
| make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
| make: *** [modules] Error 2
`----
---

I don't know if this is a proper fix, but I would love to know a better
solution to the problem.
