The complete list of changes needed to turn off ieee80211 seems to be:
# CONFIG_HOSTAP is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2100 is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211 is not set
Or in other words HOSTAP and IPW2100, IPW2200 and
HOSTAP (Prism) also needs to be disabled. Is the
latter acceptable collateral dammage?
I was under the impression that upstream had
recently updated ieee80211. Is it still out of
date in 2.6.14 ?
Below is a patch that effects the change in the current
2.6.14 tree. Note that it probably will not apply cleanly
as soon as any other changes are made to the configs
due to some quirks in the way that split config. Note also
that it consolodates some spurious arm and m68k configs
for these options into the global config.
