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.

141 You can obtain the firmware from
142 <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you

241 If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then

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/kbuild/modules.txt>.
521 The module will be called prism54.ko.

523 config USB_ZD1201
524 tristate "USB ZD1201 based Wireless device support"
525 depends on USB && WLAN_80211
526 select WIRELESS_EXT
527 select FW_LOADER
528 ---help---
529 Say Y if you want to use wireless LAN adapters based on the ZyDAS
530 ZD1201 chip.
531
532 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
533 typically on wlan0.
534
535 The zd1201 device requires external firmware to be loaded.
536 This can be found at http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net/
537
538 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
539 module will be called zd1201.

544 select EEPROM_93CX6
545 ---help---
546 This is a driver for RTL8187 based cards.
547 These are USB based chips found in cards such as:
548
549 Netgear WG111v2
550
551 Thanks to Realtek for their support!

556 select CRC32
557 select EEPROM_93CX6
558 ---help---
559 This driver is for ADM8211A, ADM8211B, and ADM8211C based cards.
560 These are PCI/mini-PCI/Cardbus 802.11b chips found in cards such as:
561
562 Xterasys Cardbus XN-2411b
563 Blitz NetWave Point PC
564 TrendNet 221pc
565 Belkin F5D6001
566 SMC 2635W
567 Linksys WPC11 v1
568 Fiberline FL-WL-200X
569 3com Office Connect (3CRSHPW796)
570 Corega WLPCIB-11
571 SMC 2602W V2 EU
572 D-Link DWL-520 Revision C
573
574 However, some of these cards have been replaced with other chips
575 like the RTL8180L (Xterasys Cardbus XN-2411b, Belkin F5D6001) or
576 the Ralink RT2400 (SMC2635W) without a model number change.
577
578 Thanks to Infineon-ADMtek for their support of this driver.
