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

166 mode, no packets can be sent.
169 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
172 This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
174 This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
175 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
178 /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
180 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
182 If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
183 most likely want to say N here.

252 bool "Enable QoS support"
253 depends on IPW2200 && EXPERIMENTAL
256 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
259 This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
261 Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
262 debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
263 will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
264 will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
266 If you are not sure, say N here.

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

336 depends on PCI && HERMES
338 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
339 orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
340 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
341 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
342 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
343 MA301 is such an adaptor.

381 A driver 802.11b wireless cards based on the Atmel fast-vnet
382 chips. This driver supports standard Linux wireless extensions.
384 Many cards based on this chipset do not have flash memory
385 and need their firmware loaded at start-up. If yours is
386 one of these, you will need to provide a firmware image
387 to be loaded into the card by the driver. The Atmel
388 firmware package can be downloaded from
389 <http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel>
392 tristate "Atmel at76c506 PCI cards"

403 as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
404 EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
405 others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
406 such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
407 work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
409 To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
410 Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
411 for location). You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
