#261 Doesn't work with 3.0 kernels (3.0.3).

[srk]

Compilation depends on CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT of the kernel. This is hidden in the new kernel versions.

It compiles with out this but has run time errors like given below.

[ 9241.482669] ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol set_iw_encr_mode (err 0)
[ 9241.482744] ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol get_ndis_auth_mode (err 0)
[ 9241.482870] ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol get_ndis_encr_mode (err 0)
[ 9241.483020] ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol set_default_iw_params (err 0)
[ 9241.483116] ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol disassociate (err 0)
[ 9241.483159] ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol set_ndis_auth_mode (err 0)

After enabling this in the kernel options below is the compilation error i got.
