SubjectQuestion about WLAN_80211 removal
Hi all!

As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

In git commit [1] the option WLAN_80211 was removed as well as
all references from within KConfig (as far as I can see) because the
non 80211 drivers moved to staging.

I guess while doing so the help message was beliefed in which
tells that this option only enables selection of certain drivers which
is unfortunately wrong as this option is used in one header file[2]
where it influences (as I'm reading it) the maximum size required for
some networking header. Is this, as it seems, a bug in kernel code or
rather harmless (intended?)?

Regards

Christoph Egger
