9	bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions"
10	---help---
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>.
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/>.

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.

56	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
57	  called strip.
