The Wireless 17 Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user 18 space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. 19 The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the 20 variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as 21 the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that 22 these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the 23 driver (or Linux).

STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project 49 (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet 50 traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery 51 powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and 52 weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called 53 "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads 54 many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a 55 phone line and use it as a modem.) 56 57 You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although 58 it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you 59 think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm 60 in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit 61 bigger. 62 63 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be 64 called strip. 65 66config ARLAN 67 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support" 68 depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT 69 ---help--- 70 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters.
