Hi,

[CC openwrt-devel, remove linux-kernel]

Indeed, I should have managed to mention that this happened using
    make kernel_menuconfig
of OpenWrt fame instead.

I now copied my OpenWrt trunk to a separate directory,
make distclean:ed it, removed all .config files that I could see,
then re-did make menuconfig, make kernel_menuconfig,
resulting in the LIB80211_CRYPT_* issue in
Networking support ---> Wireless to remain problematic as before.

Can someone else confirm and/or elaborate on this improper visibility problem
which seems to be specific to OpenWrt's kernel configuration management?
(which does do certain config things in a rather custom way, I might add)

Thanks,

Andreas Mohr
