LT
4 ---help---
5 KISS is a protocol used for the exchange of data between a computer
6 and a Terminal Node Controller (a small embedded system commonly
7 used for networking over AX.25 amateur radio connections; it
8 connects the computer's serial port with the radio's microphone
9 input and speaker output).
10
11 Although KISS is less advanced than the 6pack protocol, it has
12 the advantage that it is already supported by most modern TNCs
13 without the need for a firmware upgrade.
14
15 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
16 will be called mkiss.

LT
21 ---help---
22 6pack is a transmission protocol for the data exchange between your
23 PC and your TNC (the Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of
24 modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's
25 microphone input and speaker output). This protocol can be used as
26 an alternative to KISS for networking over AX.25 amateur radio
27 connections, but it has some extended functionality.
28
29 Note that this driver is still experimental and might cause
30 problems. For details about the features and the usage of the
31 driver, read <file:Documentation/networking/6pack.txt>.

33 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
34 will be called 6pack.

36config BPQETHER
37 tristate "BPQ Ethernet driver"
38 depends on AX25
39 help
40 AX.25 is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur
41 radio. If you say Y here, you will be able to send and receive AX.25
42 traffic over Ethernet (also called "BPQ AX.25"), which could be
43 useful if some other computer on your local network has a direct
44 amateur radio connection.

46config DMASCC

a5532606 48 depends on ISA && AX25 && BROKEN_ON_SMP && ISA_DMA_API
1da177e4
LT
49 ---help---
50 This is a driver for high-speed SCC boards, i.e. those supporting
51 DMA on one port. You usually use those boards to connect your
52 computer to an amateur radio modem (such as the WA4DSY 56kbps
53 modem), in order to send and receive AX.25 packet radio network
54 traffic.
55
56 Currently, this driver supports Ottawa PI/PI2, Paccomm/Gracilis
57 PackeTwin, and S5SCC/DMA boards. They are detected automatically.
58 If you have one of these cards, say Y here and read the AX25-HOWTO,
59 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
60
61 This driver can operate multiple boards simultaneously. If you
62 compile it as a module (by saying M instead of Y), it will be called
63 dmascc. If you don't pass any parameter to the driver, all
64 possible I/O addresses are probed. This could irritate other devices
65 that are currently not in use. You may specify the list of addresses
66 to be probed by "dmascc=addr1,addr2,..." (when compiled into the
67 kernel image) or "io=addr1,addr2,..." (when loaded as a module). The
68 network interfaces will be called dmascc0 and dmascc1 for the board
69 detected first, dmascc2 and dmascc3 for the second one, and so on.
70
71 Before you configure each interface with ifconfig, you MUST set
72 certain parameters, such as channel access timing, clock mode, and
73 DMA channel. This is accomplished with a small utility program,
74 dmascc_cfg, available at
75 <http://cacofonix.nt.tuwien.ac.at/~oe1kib/Linux/>. Please be sure to
76 get at least version 1.27 of dmascc_cfg, as older versions will not
77 work with the current driver.

82 ---help---
83 These cards are used to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio
84 in order to communicate with other computers. If you want to use
85 this, read <file:Documentation/networking/z8530drv.txt> and the
86 AX25-HOWTO, available from
87 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Also make sure to say Y
88 to "Amateur Radio AX.25 Level 2" support.

91 will be called scc.

98 working properly; please read

107 Some transmitters feed the transmitted signal back to the receive
108 line. Say Y here to foil this by explicitly disabling the receiver
109 during data transmission.

117 ---help---
118 This is one of two drivers for Baycom style simple amateur radio
119 modems that connect to a serial interface. The driver supports the
120 ser12 design in full-duplex mode. In addition, it allows the
121 baudrate to be set between 300 and 4800 baud (however not all modems
122 support all baudrates). This is the preferred driver. The next
123 driver, "BAYCOM ser12 half-duplex driver for AX.25" is the old
124 driver and still provided in case this driver does not work with
125 your serial interface chip. To configure the driver, use the sethdlc
126 utility available in the standard ax25 utilities package. For
127 information on the modems, see <http://www.baycom.de/> and
128 <file:Documentation/networking/baycom.txt>.
