12 Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
13 but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.

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
25 the tools from

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

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.
