  43. traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
  44. powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
  45. weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
  46. "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
  47. many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
  48. phone line and use it as a modem.)
  49. You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
  50. it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
  51. think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm

  338. cards by Socket Communications and Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B.
  339. This driver requires firmware download on startup. Utilities
  340. for downloading Symbol firmware are available at

  347. This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet PCMCIA
  348. 802.11 wireless cards. This driver is the same as the Aironet
  349. driver part of the Linux Pcmcia package.
  350. It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
  351. - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
  352. acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also
  353. supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom
  354. 802.11b cards.
  355. This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
  356. and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
  357. Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.
  358. To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
  359. Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
  360. for location). You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
  361. available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

  407. If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
  408. You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
  409. You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
  410. <http://prism54.org>
  411. You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
  412. a current hotplug package.
  413. Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards
  414. If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
  415. inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
  416. say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
  417. will be called prism54.ko.
