2 # Wireless LAN device configuration
10 This section contains all the pre 802.11 and 802.11 wireless
11 device drivers. For a complete list of drivers and documentation
12 on them refer to the wireless wiki:
14 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers
18 menuconfig WLAN_PRE80211
19 bool "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)"
22 Say Y if you have any pre-802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
24 This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
25 lets you choose drivers.
28 tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
29 depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
32 Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
33 IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
34 (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
35 traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
36 powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
37 weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
38 "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
39 many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
40 phone line and use it as a modem.)
42 You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
43 it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
44 think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
45 in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit

52 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
53 depends on ISA && !64BIT && WLAN_PRE80211
56 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
57 www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
58 This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
59 <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
61 The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
62 is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
64 On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
65 time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.

74 radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
76 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
77 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
78 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
79 information is contained in
80 <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
81 <file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
83 You will also need the wireless tools package available from

215 chips. This driver supports standard Linux wireless extensions.
217 Many cards based on this chipset do not have flash memory
218 and need their firmware loaded at start-up. If yours is
219 one of these, you will need to provide a firmware image
220 to be loaded into the card by the driver. The Atmel
