[PATCH] backport: remove wext warning

[PATCH] backport: remove wext warning

[Johannes Berg]

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.

Thank you, I fixed it and applied. The offset in the patch was not changed.
