  9. Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
  10. but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.
  11. Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates
  12. /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless
  13. Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user
  14. space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs.
  15. The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the
  16. variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as
  17. the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that
  18. these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the

  35. IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
  36. (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
  37. traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
  38. powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
  39. weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
  40. "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
  41. many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
  42. phone line and use it as a modem.)
  43. You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
  44. it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
  45. think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
  46. in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit

  370. If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
  371. You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
  372. You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
  373. <http://prism54.org>
  374. You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
  375. a current hotplug package.
  376. Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards
  377. If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
  378. inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
  379. say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
  380. will be called prism54.ko.
