Message-ID: 20210416115633.252b99aac931.I7a66b0233a0b6972378bb20b8d1a70b7360af932 () changeid

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

wireless extensions are being used less, so remove the
warning about them not working - most people probably
won't ever see any failures, and even if not see the
warning.
