Subject: [PATCH] staging: Add proper selection of WIRELESS_EXT and WEXT_PRIV

After the incorporation of the patch entitled "wext: refactor", some
of the wireless drivers in drivers/staging fail to build because they
need to have CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV defined.

John,

I know that Greg K-H maintains staging, but I sent this to you because
your tree is the only one affected at the moment. Greg is Cc'd.

Hmmm...OK, I suppose I'll just carry this one -- I doubt if it will
cause a problem during the 2.6.33 merge window unless one of these
drivers actually disappears from staging anyway...
