2 # Wireless LAN device configuration
9 This section contains all the pre 802.11 and 802.11 wireless
10 device drivers. For a complete list of drivers and documentation
11 on them refer to the wireless wiki:
13 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers
17 menuconfig WLAN_PRE80211
18 bool "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)"
21 Say Y if you have any pre-802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
23 This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
24 lets you choose drivers.
27 tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
28 depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
31 Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
32 IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
33 (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
34 traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
35 powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
36 weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
37 "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
38 many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
39 phone line and use it as a modem.)
41 You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
42 it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
43 think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
44 in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit

56 www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
57 This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
58 <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
60 The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
61 is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.

75 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
76 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
77 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
78 information is contained in
