15 lets you choose drivers.
18 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
19 depends on ISA && !64BIT && WLAN_PRE80211
22 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
23 www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
24 This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
25 <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
27 The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
28 is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
30 On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
31 time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
34 tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support"
35 depends on ISA && WLAN_PRE80211
38 The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is
39 a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the
40 radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
42 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
43 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
44 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
45 information is contained in
46 <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
47 <file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
49 You will also need the wireless tools package available from
50 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
51 Please read the man pages contained therein.
53 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be

58 depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211
61 Say Y here if you intend to attach an AT&T/Lucent Wavelan PCMCIA
62 (PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer. This
63 driver is for the non-IEEE-802.11 Wavelan cards.
65 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
66 called wavelan_cs. If unsure, say N.
69 tristate "Xircom Netwave AirSurfer Pcmcia wireless support"
70 depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211
73 Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of PCMCIA (PC-card)
74 wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.

103 tristate "Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection"
104 depends on PCI && WLAN_80211
109 A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network
110 Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
112 See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
113 the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
114 for debugging issues and problems.
116 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
117 You can obtain the firmware from
118 <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you
119 will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
121 You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
124 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
126 It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
127 rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
128 initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
129 before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
130 unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
131 this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
132 including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
134 config IPW2100_MONITOR
135 bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
138 Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
139 With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
140 promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
141 mode, no packets can be sent.
144 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
147 This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
149 This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
150 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
153 /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
155 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
157 If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
158 most likely want to say N here.
161 tristate "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection"
162 depends on PCI && WLAN_80211
167 A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network
170 See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200> for
171 information on the capabilities currently enabled in this
172 driver and for tips for debugging issues and problems.
174 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
175 You can obtain the firmware from
176 <http://ipw2200.sf.net/>. See the above referenced README.ipw2200
177 for information on where to install the firmware images.
179 You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
182 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
184 It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
185 rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
186 initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
187 before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
188 unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
189 this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
190 including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
192 config IPW2200_MONITOR
193 bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
196 Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver.
197 With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
198 promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
199 mode, no packets can be sent.
201 config IPW2200_RADIOTAP
202 bool "Enable radiotap format 802.11 raw packet support"
203 depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
205 config IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS
206 bool "Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface"
207 depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
208 select IPW2200_RADIOTAP
210 Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
211 This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
214 This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
215 maintaining an active association.
219 % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
223 If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
224 the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
227 % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
230 bool "Enable QoS support"
231 depends on IPW2200 && EXPERIMENTAL
234 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
237 This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
239 Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
240 debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
241 will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
242 will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
244 If you are not sure, say N here.
247 tristate "Marvell 8xxx Libertas WLAN driver support"
248 depends on WLAN_80211
252 A library for Marvell Libertas 8xxx devices.

280 tristate "Cisco/Aironet 34X/35X/4500/4800 ISA and PCI cards"
281 depends on ISA_DMA_API && WLAN_80211 && (PCI || BROKEN)
285 This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet ISA and
286 PCI 802.11 wireless cards.
287 It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
288 - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
289 acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B).
291 This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
292 and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
293 Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.
295 The driver can be compiled as a module and will be named "airo".
298 tristate "Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)"
299 depends on (PPC_PMAC || PCI || PCMCIA) && WLAN_80211
302 A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
303 Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
304 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
305 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
306 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
307 Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
308 IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
309 MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
310 IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
312 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
313 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
314 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
316 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
317 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

334 depends on PCI && HERMES
336 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
337 orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
338 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
339 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
340 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
341 MA301 is such an adaptor.
344 tristate "Hermes in TMD7160 based PCI adaptor support"
345 depends on PCI && HERMES
347 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
348 orinoco) driver when used in TMD7160 based PCI adaptors. These
349 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited

377 as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
378 EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
379 others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
380 such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
381 work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
383 You will very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
384 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:
