| bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions" |
| ---help--- |
| Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio, |
| but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting. |
| |
| Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates |
| /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless |
| Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user |
| space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. |
| The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the |
| variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as |
| the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that |
| these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the |
| driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with |
| wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch |
| the tools from |
| <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. |
| |
| Some user-level drivers for scarab devices which don't require |
| special kernel support are available from |

| tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)" |

| ---help--- |
| Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio |
| IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project |
| (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet |
| traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery |
| powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and |
| weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called |
| "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads |
| many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a |
| phone line and use it as a modem.) |
| |
| You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although |
| it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you |
| think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm |
| in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit |
| bigger. |
| |
| To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be |

| Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the |
| www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards. |
| This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at |
| <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information. |
| |
| The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter |
| is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time. |

| On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some |
| time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it. |
