21	---help---
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.)
31
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
36	  bigger.
37
38	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
39	  called strip.

45	---help---
46	  Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
47	  www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
48	  This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
49	  <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
50
51	  The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
52	  is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
53
54	  On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some

142          the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
143          for debugging issues and problems.
144
145	  In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
146          You can obtain the firmware from
147	  <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>.  Once you have the firmware image, you
148	  will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
149
150          You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
151          configure your card:
152
153          <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
154
155          If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be

174
175	  This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger.  You can
176	  control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
177	  value in
178
179	  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
180
181	  This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
182
183	  If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you

201          You can obtain the firmware from
202	  <http://ipw2200.sf.net/>.  See the above referenced README.ipw2200
203	  for information on where to install the firmware images.
204
205          You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
206          configure your card:

216        bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
217        depends on IPW2200
218        ---help---
219	  Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver.
220	  With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
221	  promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode.  While in this

233          Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
234          This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
235	  format.
236
237          This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
238          maintaining an active association.
239
240          Example usage:
241
242            % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
243            % ifconfig rtap0 up
244            % tethereal -i rtap0
245
246          If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
247          the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
248          it on via sysfs:
249
250            % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
251
252config IPW2200_QOS

256config IPW2200_DEBUG
257	bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
258	depends on IPW2200
259	---help---
260	  This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
261
262	  Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
263	  debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
264	  will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger.  Most users
265	  will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
266
267	  If you are not sure, say N here.

314
315	  This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
316	  actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
317	  Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.

510	  If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
511	  You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
512	  You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
513	  <http://prism54.org>
514	  You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
515	  a current hotplug package.
516
517	  Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards
518
519	  If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
520	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
521	  say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.
522	  The module will be called prism54.ko.

532
533	  This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
534	  typically on wlan0.
535
536	  The zd1201 device requires external firmware to be loaded.
537	  This can be found at http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net/
538
539	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
540	  module will be called zd1201.
