Subject: lk3.19.0-rc2: no cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility

Was there a good reason for this change in net/wireless/Kconfig
between lk 3.18 and 3.19-rc2 ??

  	  Most distributions have a CRDA package.  So if unsure, say N.

  config CFG80211_WEXT
-	bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"
+	bool

That change makes it pretty hard for folks who need those extensions.
