+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.
+
+config NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK
+        bool "Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink"
+        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.
