I am trying to test the latest Realtek driver for the RTL8187L. In order for the
driver to be able to scan, CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT must be set to "y". I could find
no way to do that with the kernel configuration utilities until I made the
following patch. I know it is wrong, but I would like to know the correct way.

Thanks,

Larry
