What's up with that? Only files in "include" are for external use. Files under "include/config" indicate kernel configuration. You don't need that. That leaves include/linux/nl80211.h Another approach. iw sources include linux/nl80211.h, and defconfig refers to "include". That gives the same answer. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
