2 # Wireless LAN device configuration
10 This section contains all the pre 802.11 and 802.11 wireless
11 device drivers. For a complete list of drivers and documentation
12 on them refer to the wireless wiki:
14 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers
18 menuconfig WLAN_PRE80211
19 bool "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)"
22 Say Y if you have any pre-802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
24 This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
25 lets you choose drivers.
28 tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
29 depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
32 Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
33 IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
34 to send Internet traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are
35 small, battery powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about
36 the size and weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard
37 them called "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because
38 it misleads many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom
39 modem into a phone line and use it as a modem.)
41 You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
42 it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
43 think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
44 in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit

51 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
52 depends on ISA && !64BIT && WLAN_PRE80211
55 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
56 www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
57 This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
58 <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
60 The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
61 is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
63 On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
64 time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.

77 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
78 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
79 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
80 information is contained in
81 <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
82 <file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
84 You will also need the wireless tools package available from

225 chips. This driver supports standard Linux wireless extensions.
227 Many cards based on this chipset do not have flash memory
228 and need their firmware loaded at start-up. If yours is
229 one of these, you will need to provide a firmware image
230 to be loaded into the card by the driver. The Atmel
