Description Kamil Gornik 2007-12-09 22:51:40 UTC 
I cannot find any of these:

CONFIG_B43=m
CONFIG_B43_PCI_AUTOSELECT=y
CONFIG_B43_PCICORE_AUTOSELECT=y
CONFIG_B43_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_B43_LEDS=y
CONFIG_B43_RFKILL=y
CONFIG_B43_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_B43_DMA=y
CONFIG_B43_PIO=y
CONFIG_B43_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y
# CONFIG_B43_DMA_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_B43_PIO_MODE is not set
CONFIG_B43LEGACY=m
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PCI_AUTOSELECT=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PCICORE_AUTOSELECT=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_LEDS=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_RFKILL=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PIO=y
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y
# CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PIO_MODE is not set

yet drivers/net/wireless/b43 & drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy are present.
Something seems wrong. Isn't there any patch that blocks that out? Looks like that.

Reproducible: Always

my mistake, one small but very important thing needs to be enabled:

     <M>   Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)

use / to search in menuconfig to find missing dependencies for kernel config variables

for example /B43
