  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
  19. driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with

  34. Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
  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
