This reverts commit 24a0aa21. It's causing severe userspace breakage. Namely, all the utilities from wireless-utils which are relying on CONFIG_WEXT (which means tools like 'iwconfig', 'iwlist', etc) are not working anymore. There is a 'iw' utility in newer wireless-tools, which is supposed to be a replacement for all the "deprecated" binaries, but it's far away from being massively adopted. Please see [1] for example of the userspace breakage this is causing. In addition to that, Larry Finger reports [2] that this patch is also causing ipw2200 driver being impossible to build. To me this clearly shows that CONFIG_WEXT is far, far away from being "deprecated enough" to be removed.
