+config WIRELESS_EXT
+	bool "Wireless extensions"
+	default n
+	---help---
+	  This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
+	  (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
+
+	  Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
+	  will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
+	  wireless extension handlers.
+
+	  Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
+	  extensions for external modules.

+	depends on WIRELESS_EXT
+	---help---
+	  Support the Wireless Extension API over the RtNetlink socket
+	  in addition to the traditional ioctl interface (selected above).
+
+	  For now, few tools use this facility, but it might grow in the
+	  future. The only downside is that it adds 4.5 kB to your kernel.
