I sometimes use 'make gconfig' and I noticed that I cannot disable the
UWB option -- it just won't let me set it to N.

AFAICT this is because the CONFIG USB_WUSB selects UWB which forces it
on.
applying this patch fixes the issue but I'm not sure if this is the
right way to go about it.

any thoughts?

regards
Richard

This is against 2.6.31

Not specific to 'gconfig'.

Yes.

UWB can be disabled by disabling both of these options that are several
entries below it in the same menu:

USB_WHCI_HCD and USB_HWA_HCD

and then returning to UWB and disabling it.

Should users have to figure that out?  no.

NAK.  It's not sufficiently obvious to a user that Wireless USB support
requires UWB.

This is really an issue with the configuration application.  Consider
improving them to allow switching off select'ed options and popping up a
dialog that says "switching off UWB will also switch off WUSB" etc.
