Hi all, [please to CC me]
There's two things I want to comment on regarding menuconfig:
1) I know of the purpose of oldconfig, but I prefer using menuconfig for
upgrading to newer kernel versions, because most of the time, I would select
the standard options for new features anyway. menuconfig has the "(NEW)"
string at the end of a feature's description. However, I find that hard to
see among all the names of various lenghts. My proposal would be to have
an "N" or a "NEW" appear to the _left_ of the selection boxes, so that,
browsing through the menus, one could more easily spot the interesting
places.
2) When selecting "Ralink driver support" (CONFIG_RT2X00), the accompanying
drivers (CONFIG_RT2400PCI, CONFIG_RT61PC, ...) appear unindented. They should
be indented by four spaces.
Cheers!

Yes, patch is below.

Michael Büker <m.bueker@berlin.de> reports that the RT2x00 drivers
are not indented as they should be, so use proper dependencies to make
them be indented as expected.

John,
Could you push this directly into wireless-2.6 and probably upstream as well.
Thanks.
