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/>.

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.

61 depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT
62 ---help---
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
71 On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
72 time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.

78 The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is
79 a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the
80 radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
81
82 This driver support the ISA version of the WaveLAN card. A separate
83 driver for the PCMCIA (PC-card) hardware is available in David
84 Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
85 for location).
86
87 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
88 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
89 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
90 information is contained in
91 <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
92 <file:drivers/net/wavelan.p.h>.
93
94 You will also need the wireless tools package available from

96 Please read the man pages contained therein.

146 Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
147
148 See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
149 the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
150 for debugging issues and problems.
151
152 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
153 You can obtain the firmware from
154 <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you
155 will need to place it in /etc/firmware.
156
157 You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
158 configure your card:
159
160 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
161
162 If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
163 inserted in and remvoed from the running kernel whenever you want),
164 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module

197 This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet ISA and
198 PCI 802.11 wireless cards.
199 It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
200 - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
201 aquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B).
202
203 This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
204 and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
205 Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.

215 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
216 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
217 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,

221 PRO/Wireless, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
222
223 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
224 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
225 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.

248 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
