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.
Please don't apply this patch as is. The soundmodem and other radio
network drivers now have their own sub-directories under drivers/net
and also their own Config.in files as well.
Granted the wavelan stuff was removed probably unintentionally, but
the rest of your patch is incorrect as I just described.
Alan can probably work out the details here.
