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

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.

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