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

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

319 PRO/Wireless, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
321 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
322 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
323 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
325 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
326 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

388 A driver 802.11b wireless cards based on the Atmel fast-vnet
389 chips. This driver supports standard Linux wireless extensions.
391 Many cards based on this chipset do not have flash memory
392 and need their firmware loaded at start-up. If yours is
393 one of these, you will need to provide a firmware image
394 to be loaded into the card by the driver. The Atmel
395 firmware package can be downloaded from
396 <http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel>

410 as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
411 EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
412 others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
413 such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
414 work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
416 To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
417 Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
