   4 Subject: [PATCH] net: permit ieee80211_ptr even with no CFG82111 support
   5
   6 Introduce a new flag CONFIG_CFG80211_HEADERS to compile in ieee80211_ptr
   7 even if CFG80211 support is not compiled in. This is needed for the
   8 backports project and for any downstream wireless driver that loads in
   9 the kernel dynamically.
