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>. 26 27 Some user-level drivers for scarab devices which don't require 28 special kernel support are available from 29 <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/>. 30 31# Note : the cards are obsolete (can't buy them anymore), but the drivers 32# are not, as people are still using them... 33comment "Obsolete Wireless cards support (pre-802.11)" 34 depends on NET_RADIO && (INET || ISA || PCMCIA) 35 36config STRIP 37 tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)" 38 depends on NET_RADIO && INET 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. 55 56 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be 57 called strip. 58 59config ARLAN 60 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support" 61 depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT 62 ---help--- 63 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters.
