2 # Wireless LAN device configuration
11 This section contains all the pre 802.11 and 802.11 wireless
12 device drivers. For a complete list of drivers and documentation
13 on them refer to the wireless wiki:
15 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers
19 menuconfig WLAN_PRE80211
20 bool "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)"
23 Say Y if you have any pre-802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
25 This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
26 lets you choose drivers.
29 tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
30 depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
33 Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
34 IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
35 to send Internet traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are
36 small, battery powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about
37 the size and weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard
38 them called "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because
39 it misleads many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom
40 modem into a phone line and use it as a modem.)
42 You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
43 it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
44 think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
45 in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
48 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
52 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
53 depends on ISA && !64BIT && WLAN_PRE80211
56 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
57 www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
58 This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
59 <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
61 The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
62 is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
64 On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
65 time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
68 tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support"
69 depends on ISA && WLAN_PRE80211

78 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
79 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
80 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
81 information is contained in
82 <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
83 <file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
85 You will also need the wireless tools package available from
86 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
87 Please read the man pages contained therein.
89 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be

101 driver is for the non-IEEE-802.11 Wavelan cards.
103 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
104 called wavelan_cs. If unsure, say N.
106 config PCMCIA_NETWAVE
107 tristate "Xircom Netwave AirSurfer Pcmcia wireless support"
108 depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211

185 chips. This driver supports standard Linux wireless extensions.
187 Many cards based on this chipset do not have flash memory
188 and need their firmware loaded at start-up. If yours is
189 one of these, you will need to provide a firmware image
190 to be loaded into the card by the driver. The Atmel
191 firmware package can be downloaded from
192 <http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel>

230 - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
231 acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also
232 supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom
