config NET_RADIO
        bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions"
        select WIRELESS_EXT
        ---help---
          Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
          but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.

          Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates
          /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless
          Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user
          space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs.
          The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the
          variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as
          the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that
          these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the
          driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with
          wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch
          the tools from
          <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.

        ---help---
          Support the Wireless Extension API over the RtNetlink socket
          in addition to the traditional ioctl interface (selected above).

          For now, few tools use this facility, but it might grow in the
          future. The only downside is that it adds 4.5 kB to your kernel.

        ---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 <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) 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.

        depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT
        ---help---
          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
          <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> 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
          time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.

          See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> 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
          <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>.  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:

          If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be

          With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to

          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.

          This second interface will provide every received in radiotap

          This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while

          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

          % echo 0x00000FFO > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level

          You can find the list of debug mask values in

          It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
          - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
          acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also
          supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom
          802.11b cards.

          This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
          and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
          Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.

          To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
          Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
          for location).  You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
          available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

          If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
          You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
          You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
          <http://prism54.org>
          You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
          a current hotplug package.

          Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards 
          
          If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.  The module
          will be called prism54.ko.
