The actual problem was CONFIG_IWLCORE=y, CONFIG_IWL4965=m.

And this is not the same problem as what Luca's patch solves.

Thanks, fix is below.

It would require users to manually set CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS only for 
getting their net driver, which is an implementation detail we shouldn't 
bother them with.

And it would require a built-in CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS even for modular 
drivers.

I'm not sure whether the best opportunity for you to learn something 
useful for the future is to learn about the nastier parts of kconfig...  ;-)

Fellow kernel developers have claimed I was crazy after I told that my 
favorite part of the kernel are the Kconfig files...

Thanks for reporting it!

This patch moves the following select's:
- RFKILL        : IWLWIFI_RFKILL -> IWLCORE
- RFKILL_INPUT  : IWLWIFI_RFKILL -> IWLCORE
- MAC80211_LEDS : IWL4965_LEDS   -> IWLCORE
- LEDS_CLASS    : IWL4965_LEDS   -> IWLCORE
- MAC80211_LEDS : IWL3945_LEDS   -> IWL3945
- LEDS_CLASS    : IWL3945_LEDS   -> IWL3945

The effects are:
- with IWLCORE=m and/or IWL3945=m RFKILL/RFKILL_INPUT/MAC80211_LEDS/LEDS_CLASS
  are no longer wrongly forced to y
- fixes a build error with IWLCORE=y, IWL4965=m
  might be a bug in kconfig causing it, but doing this change that is 
  anyway the right thing fixes it

BTW: There's no correlation between IWL3945_LEDS and IWLWIFI_LEDS.
     That seems to be intended?
