Subject: [PATCH] wireless: Change Kconfig to select WEXT_PRIV
Date:   Sun,  3 Apr 2022 13:14:31 -0500

File net/wireless/Kconfig contains two blind configuration variables,
namely WEXT_PRIV and WEXT_SPY. If those variables are already in the
configuration file, they will be retained, but there is no way to
set them if they are missing other than to manually edit .config.
They should be enabled if either WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT are set
in the same manner as WEXT_CORE and WEXT_PROC.

Personally, the setting of WEXT_SPY is not important; however, openSUSE
and Ubuntu both enable it in their default kernels. Other distros have
not been checked, but it is likely that they also enable that setting.
