-What:	Wireless extensions over netlink (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK)
-When:	with the merge of wireless-dev, 2.6.22 or later
-Why:	The option/code is
-	 * not enabled on most kernels
-	 * not required by any userspace tools (except an experimental one,
-	   and even there only for some parts, others use ioctl)
-	 * pointless since wext is no longer evolving and the ioctl
-	   interface needs to be kept

 What:	i8xx_tco watchdog driver
 When:	in 2.6.22
 Why:	the i8xx_tco watchdog driver has been replaced by the iTCO_wdt
