Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt: deleted, not in tree
Commit 1d794e3b353b ("Staging: wavelan: delete the driver") removed the
source, so remove the documentation as well.

1 | The Wavelan drivers saga | ||
2 | ------------------------ | ||

6 | The Wavelan is a Radio network adapter designed by | ||
7 | Lucent. Under this generic name is hidden quite a variety of hardware, | ||
8 | and many Linux driver to support it. | ||
9 | The get the full story on Wireless LANs, please consult : | ||

12 | "wavelan" driver (old ISA Wavelan) | ||
13 | ---------------- | ||
14 | o Config : Network device -> Wireless LAN -> AT&T WaveLAN | ||
15 | o Location : .../drivers/net/wireless/wavelan* | ||
16 | o in-line doc : .../drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h | ||
17 | o on-line doc : | ||
18 | http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wavelan.html | ||
19 | |||
20 | This is the driver for the ISA version of the first generation | ||
21 | of the Wavelan, now discontinued. The device is 2 Mb/s, composed of a | ||
22 | Intel 82586 controller and a Lucent Modem, and is NOT 802.11 compliant. | ||
23 | The driver has been tested with the following hardware : | ||
24 | o Wavelan ISA 915 MHz (full length ISA card) | ||
25 | o Wavelan ISA 915 MHz 2.0 (half length ISA card) | ||
26 | o Wavelan ISA 2.4 GHz (full length ISA card, fixed frequency) | ||
27 | o Wavelan ISA 2.4 GHz 2.0 (half length ISA card, frequency selectable) | ||
28 | o Above cards with the optional DES encryption feature | ||
29 | |||
30 | "wavelan_cs" driver (old Pcmcia Wavelan) | ||
31 | ------------------- | ||
32 | o Config : Network device -> PCMCIA network -> | ||
33 | Pcmcia Wireless LAN -> AT&T/Lucent WaveLAN | ||
34 | o Location : .../drivers/net/pcmcia/wavelan* | ||
35 | o in-line doc : .../drivers/net/pcmcia/wavelan_cs.h | ||
36 | o on-line doc : | ||

38 | |||
39 | This is the driver for the PCMCIA version of the first | ||
40 | generation of the Wavelan, now discontinued. The device is 2 Mb/s, | ||
41 | composed of a Intel 82593 controller (totally different from the 82586) | ||
42 | and a Lucent Modem, and NOT 802.11 compatible. | ||
43 | The driver has been tested with the following hardware : | ||
44 | o Wavelan Pcmcia 915 MHz 2.0 (Pcmcia card + separate | ||
45 | modem/antenna block) | ||
46 | o Wavelan Pcmcia 2.4 GHz 2.0 (Pcmcia card + separate | ||
47 | modem/antenna block) | ||
48 | |||
49 | "wvlan_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, GPL) | ||
50 | ----------------- | ||
51 | o Config : Not yet in kernel | ||
52 | o Location : Pcmcia package 3.1.10+ | ||
53 | o on-line doc : | ||
54 | http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.fasta.fh-dortmund.de/users/andy/wvlan/ | ||
55 | |||
56 | This is the driver for the current generation of Wavelan IEEE, | ||
57 | which is 802.11 compatible. Depending on version, it is 2 Mb/s or 11 | ||
58 | Mb/s, with or without encryption, all implemented in Lucent specific | ||
59 | DSP (the Hermes). | ||
60 | This is a GPL full source PCMCIA driver (ISA is just a Pcmcia | ||
61 | card with ISA-Pcmcia bridge). | ||
62 | |||
63 | "wavelan2_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, binary) | ||
64 | -------------------- | ||
65 | o Config : Not yet in kernel | ||
66 | o Location : ftp://sourceforge.org/pcmcia/contrib/ | ||
67 | |||
68 | This driver support exactly the same hardware as the previous | ||
69 | driver, the main difference is that it is based on a binary library | ||
70 | and supported by Lucent. | ||
71 | |||
72 | I hope it clears the confusion ;-) | ||
