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

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.

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.

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

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