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

cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
Enable this if you have a wireless device.
