Wireless support accidentally dropped in 2.1 kernel?

Sometime around 2.1.70 or so, a block of code got dropped from
drivers/net/Config.in, which caused support for wireless ethernet cards
(most notably for me, Wavelan support) to be dropped.

I'm fairly sure this was an accident, since restoring the block in
drivers/net/Config.in allowed the Wireless support to work flawlessly.
