Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

+config NET_RADIO
+ bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions"
+ ---help---
+ Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
+ but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.
+
+ 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

+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.

+ This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at

+
+ The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
