Subject: Please make CONFIG_CFG80211 harder to enable

Hello!

Somebody please mark CONFIG_CFG80211 in wireless-dev.git as
experimental/broken/incomplete/whatever.  Not only doesn't it work, but
it also breaks Wireless Extensions if enabled, even if CONFIG_D80211 is
disabled.

Driver developers should know that if they enable CONFIG_CFG80211 they
won't be able to debug their drivers effectifely; they'll have to fix
cfg80211 first.
