This reverts commit 94d9842403f770239a656586442454b7a8f2df29.

Alan says it's not appropriate to remove this driver,
Adrian Bunk also agrees with this revert.

+         traffic using Metricom radios.  Metricom radios are small, battery

+         weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called

+ * Note: manual_dev_addr hack
+ * 
+ * It is not possible to change the hardware address of a Metricom radio,
+ * or to send packets with a user-specified hardware source address, thus
+ * trying to manually set a hardware source address is a questionable
+ * thing to do.  However, if the user *does* manually set the hardware
+ * source address of a STRIP interface, then the kernel will believe it,
+ * and use it in certain places. For example, the hardware address listed
+ * by ifconfig will be the manual address, not the true one.
+ * (Both addresses are listed in /proc/net/strip.)
+ * Also, ARP packets will be sent out giving the user-specified address as
+ * the source address, not the real address. This is dangerous, because
+ * it means you won't receive any replies -- the ARP replies will go to
+ * the specified address, which will be some other radio. The case where
+ * this is useful is when that other radio is also connected to the same
+ * machine. This allows you to connect a pair of radios to one machine,
+ * and to use one exclusively for inbound traffic, and the other
+ * exclusively for outbound traffic. Pretty neat, huh?
+ * 
+ * Here's the full procedure to set this up:
+ * 
+ * 1. "slattach" two interfaces, e.g. st0 for outgoing packets,
+ *    and st1 for incoming packets
+ * 
+ * 2. "ifconfig" st0 (outbound radio) to have the hardware address
+ *    which is the real hardware address of st1 (inbound radio).
+ *    Now when it sends out packets, it will masquerade as st1, and
+ *    replies will be sent to that radio, which is exactly what we want.
+ * 
+ * 3. Set the route table entry ("route add default ..." or
+ *    "route add -net ...", as appropriate) to send packets via the st0
+ *    interface (outbound radio). Do not add any route which sends packets
+ *    out via the st1 interface -- that radio is for inbound traffic only.
+ * 
+ * 4. "ifconfig" st1 (inbound radio) to have hardware address zero.
+ *    This tells the STRIP driver to "shut down" that interface and not
+ *    send any packets through it. In particular, it stops sending the
+ *    periodic gratuitous ARP packets that a STRIP interface normally sends.
+ *    Also, when packets arrive on that interface, it will search the
+ *    interface list to see if there is another interface who's manual
+ *    hardware address matches its own real address (i.e. st0 in this
+ *    example) and if so it will transfer ownership of the skbuff to
+ *    that interface, so that it looks to the kernel as if the packet
+ *    arrived on that interface. This is necessary because when the
+ *    kernel sends an ARP packet on st0, it expects to get a reply on
+ *    st0, and if it sees the reply come from st1 then it will ignore
+ *    it (to be accurate, it puts the entry in the ARP table, but
+ *    labelled in such a way that st0 can't use it).
+ * 
+ * Thanks to Petros Maniatis for coming up with the idea of splitting
+ * inbound and outbound traffic between two interfaces, which turned
+ * out to be really easy to implement, even if it is a bit of a hack.
+ * 
+ * Having set a manual address on an interface, you can restore it
+ * to automatic operation (where the address is automatically kept
+ * consistent with the real address of the radio) by setting a manual
+ * address of all ones, e.g. "ifconfig st0 hw strip FFFFFFFFFFFF"
+ * This 'turns off' manual override mode for the device address.
+ * 
+ * Note: The IEEE 802 headers reported in tcpdump will show the *real*
+ * radio addresses the packets were sent and received from, so that you
+ * can see what is really going on with packets, and which interfaces
