Details

Description: With a current Arch I get the following warning when loading the the `fakelb` module:

```
[190435.537964] fakelb driver is marked as deprecated, please use mac802154_hwsim!
[190435.538571] ieee802154fakelb ieee802154fakelb: added 2 fake ieee802154 hardware devices
```

However, loading the `mac802154_hwsim` module fails:

```
# modprobe mac802154_hwsim
modprobe: FATAL: Module mac802154_hwsim not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.2-arch1-1-ARCH
```

According to the [change log](https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.19) it should be part of the 4.19 release, so I assume it to be disabled. It would be great, if it could be enabled.

Additional info:
