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. | |

57 | called strip. | |

63 | Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the | |

65 | This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at | |

442 | If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well. | |
443 | You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890. | |
444 | You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page: | |
445 | <http://prism54.org> | |
446 | You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from | |
447 | a current hotplug package. | |
448 | ||
449 | Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards | |
450 | ||
451 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | |
452 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | |
453 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module | |
454 | will be called prism54.ko. | |
