I am confused. CONFIG_NET_RADIO is set when you select "Wireless LAN drivers". But building of drivers/net/wireless depends on CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS, but not a single Kconfig defines this value (it is defined in some defconfigs though). So the wireless LAN drivers are never built.

What am I missing???

The following from drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig:

<-- snip -->

config NET_WIRELESS

        bool
        depends on NET_RADIO && (ISA || PCI || PPC_PMAC || PCMCIA)
        default y

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
