  20         ---help---
  21           Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
  22           IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
  23           (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
  24           traffic using Metricom radios.  Metricom radios are small, battery
  25           powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
  26           weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
  27           "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
  28           many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
  29           phone line and use it as a modem.)
  30
  31           You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
  32           it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
  33           think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
  34           in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
  35           bigger.
  36
  37           To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
  38           called strip.

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

  63           radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
  64
  65           This driver support the ISA version of the WaveLAN card.  A separate

 140           See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
 141           the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
 142           for debugging issues and problems.
 143
 144           In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
 145           You can obtain the firmware from
 146           <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>.  Once you have the firmware image, you
 147           will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
 148
 149           You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
 150           configure your card:
 151
 152           <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
 153
 154           If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
 155           inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
 156           say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.  The module

 163           Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
 164           With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
 165           promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode.  While in this
 166           mode, no packets can be sent.

 171         ---help---
 172           This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
 173
 174           This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger.  You can
 175           control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
 176           value in
 177
 178           /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
 179
 180           This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
 181
 182           If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
 183           most likely want to say N here.

 233           This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
 234           format.
 235
 236           This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
 237           maintaining an active association.
 238
 239           Example usage:

 244
 245           If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
 246           the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
 247           it on via sysfs:

 260
 261           Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
 262           debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
 263           will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger.  Most users

 383
 384         Many  cards based on this chipset do not have flash memory
 385         and need their firmware loaded at start-up. If yours is
 386         one of these, you will need to provide a firmware image
 387         to be loaded into the card by the driver. The Atmel
 388         firmware package can be downloaded from

 403           as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
 404           EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
 405           others).  It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
 406           such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline.  It should also
 407           work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
 408
 409           To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
 410           Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
 411           for location).  You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
 412           available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
 413
 414           You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
 415           configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:

 440           802.11 wireless cards.  This driver is the same as the Aironet
 441           driver part of the Linux Pcmcia package.
 442           It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
 443           - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
 444           acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also
 445           supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom
 446           802.11b cards.
 447
 448           This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
 449           and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
 450           Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.

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