11 | Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio, | ||
12 | but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates | ||
15 | /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless | ||
16 | Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user | ||
17 | space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. | ||
18 | The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the | ||
19 | variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as | ||
20 | the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that | ||
21 | these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the | ||
22 | driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with | ||
23 | wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch | ||
24 | the tools from | ||
25 | <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. | ||

39 | ---help--- | ||
40 | Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio | ||
41 | IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project | ||
42 | (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet | ||
43 | traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery | ||
44 | powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and | ||
45 | weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called | ||
46 | "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads | ||
47 | many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a | ||
48 | phone line and use it as a modem.) | ||
49 | |||
50 | You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although | ||
51 | it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you | ||
52 | think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm | ||
53 | in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit | ||
54 | bigger. | ||

63 | Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the | ||
64 | www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards. | ||
65 | This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at | ||
66 | <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information. | ||
67 | |||
68 | The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter | ||
69 | is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time. | ||
70 | |||
