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

161 promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
162 mode, no packets can be sent.
165 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
168 This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
170 This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
171 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
174 /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
176 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
178 If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
179 most likely want to say N here.

225 depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
226 select IPW2200_RADIOTAP
228 Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
229 This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
232 This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
233 maintaining an active association.
237 % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
241 If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
242 the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
245 % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
248 bool "Enable QoS support"
249 depends on IPW2200 && EXPERIMENTAL
252 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
255 This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
257 Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
258 debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
259 will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
260 will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
262 If you are not sure, say N here.

314 MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
315 PRO/Wireless, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
317 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
318 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
319 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
321 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
322 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

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

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