| 15 | Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates |
| 16 | /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless |
| 17 | Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user |
| 18 | space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. |
| 19 | The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the |
| 20 | variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as |
| 21 | the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that |
| 22 | these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the |
| 23 | driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with |
| 24 | wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch |

| 37 | Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio |
| 38 | IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project |
| 39 | (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet |
| 40 | traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery |
| 41 | powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and |
| 42 | weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called |
| 43 | "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads |
| 44 | many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a |
| 45 | phone line and use it as a modem.) |
| 46 | |
| 47 | You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although |
| 48 | it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you |
| 49 | think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm |
| 50 | in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit |

| 360 | A driver for "Hermes" chipset based PCMCIA wireless adaptors, such |
| 361 | as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/ |
| 362 | EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and |
| 363 | others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards |
| 364 | such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also |
| 365 | work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN. |
| 366 | |
| 367 | To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David |
| 368 | Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes> |
| 369 | for location). You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO, |
| 370 | available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. |
| 371 | |
| 372 | You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to |
| 373 | configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works: |

| 394 | This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet PCMCIA |
| 395 | 802.11 wireless cards. This driver is the same as the Aironet |
| 396 | driver part of the Linux Pcmcia package. |
| 397 | It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X |
| 398 | - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco |
| 399 | aquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also |
| 400 | supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom |
| 401 | 802.11b cards. |
| 402 | |
| 403 | This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions |
| 404 | and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the |
| 405 | Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card. |

| 463 | If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well. |
| 464 | You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890. |
| 465 | You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page: |
| 466 | <http://prism54.org> |
| 467 | You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from |
| 468 | a current hotplug package. |
| 469 | |
| 470 | Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards |
| 471 | |
| 472 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be |
| 473 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), |
| 474 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module |
| 475 | will be called prism54.ko. |
