tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"

select WIRELESS_EXT
---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 ) 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.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called strip.

Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
for the latest information.
The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some

---help---
A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network
Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
See for information on
the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
for debugging issues and problems.
In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
You can obtain the firmware from
. Once you have the firmware image, you
will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
configure your card:
.
It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
config IPW2100_MONITOR

depends on IPW2100
---help---
Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
mode, no packets can be sent.
config IPW2100_DEBUG
bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
depends on IPW2100
---help---
This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
value in
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
most likely want to say N here.

---help---
Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
format.
This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
maintaining an active association.
Example usage:
% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
% ifconfig rtap0 up
% tethereal -i rtap0
If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
it on via sysfs:

---help---
This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.

This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
