Hi Marcel,

FW_LOADER, it has to select it.

Arguable, Certainly not "wrong". See next comment.
> For 2.4 this is a little bit more complex and you need a Makefile trick
to do it.
This is why. As it is, the 2 configs are now more or less
equivalent witthout
any fancy tricks. The FW dependency is clearly stated in the
config comment.
Nice and simple.
But I'm open to suggestions :-) At least this is better than the
original.

Well not all - oid_xxx . I think that because we have a number of
files, it
is easier to maintain. I notice most of the other wlan drivers
have only one or
two files. Maybe, for the stable release, a merge into a smaller
number of files could be done.
