Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch the tools from <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. Some user-level drivers for scarab devices which don't require special kernel support are available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/>. # Note : the cards are obsolete (can't buy them anymore), but the drivers # are not, as people are still using them... comment "Obsolete Wireless cards support (pre-802.11)" depends on NET_RADIO && (INET || ISA || PCMCIA) config STRIP tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)" depends on NET_RADIO && INET ---help--- Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a phone line and use it as a modem.) You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit bigger. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called strip. config ARLAN tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support" depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT ---help--- Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards. This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information. The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time. On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it. config WAVELAN tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support" depends on NET_RADIO && ISA ---help--- The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.

A separate driver for the PCMCIA (PC-card) hardware is available in David Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes> for location). If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific information is contained in <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code <file:drivers/net/wavelan.p.h>. You will also need the wireless tools package available from <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. Please read the man pages contained therein. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called wavelan. config PCMCIA_WAVELAN tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN Pcmcia wireless support" depends on NET_RADIO && PCMCIA help Say Y here if you intend to attach an AT&T/Lucent Wavelan PCMCIA (PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.
