2 # Wireless LAN device configuration
9 bool "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)"
12 Say Y if you have any pre-802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
14 This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
15 lets you choose drivers.
18 tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
19 depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
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.)
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

42 tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
43 depends on ISA && !64BIT && WLAN_PRE80211
46 Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
47 www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
48 This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
49 <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
51 The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
52 is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
54 On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
55 time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
58 tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support"
59 depends on ISA && WLAN_PRE80211
62 The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is
63 a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the
64 radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
66 If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
67 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
68 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
69 information is contained in
70 <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
71 <file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
73 You will also need the wireless tools package available from
74 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
75 Please read the man pages contained therein.
77 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
81 tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN Pcmcia wireless support"
82 depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211
85 Say Y here if you intend to attach an AT&T/Lucent Wavelan PCMCIA
86 (PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer. This
87 driver is for the non-IEEE-802.11 Wavelan cards.
89 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
90 called wavelan_cs. If unsure, say N.
93 tristate "Xircom Netwave AirSurfer Pcmcia wireless support"
94 depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211
97 Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of PCMCIA (PC-card)
98 wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.

127 tristate "Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection"
128 depends on PCI && WLAN_80211
133 A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network
134 Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
136 See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
137 the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
138 for debugging issues and problems.
140 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
141 You can obtain the firmware from
142 <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you
143 will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
145 You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
148 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
150 It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
151 rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
152 initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
153 before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
154 unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
155 this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
156 including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
158 config IPW2100_MONITOR
159 bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
162 Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
163 With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
164 promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
165 mode, no packets can be sent.
168 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
171 This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
173 This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
174 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
177 /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
179 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
181 If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
182 most likely want to say N here.
185 tristate "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection"
186 depends on PCI && WLAN_80211
191 A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network
194 See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200> for
195 information on the capabilities currently enabled in this
196 driver and for tips for debugging issues and problems.
198 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
199 You can obtain the firmware from
200 <http://ipw2200.sf.net/>. See the above referenced README.ipw2200
201 for information on where to install the firmware images.
203 You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
206 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
208 It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
209 rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
210 initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
211 before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
212 unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
213 this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
214 including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
216 config IPW2200_MONITOR
217 bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
220 Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver.
221 With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
222 promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
223 mode, no packets can be sent.
225 config IPW2200_RADIOTAP
226 bool "Enable radiotap format 802.11 raw packet support"
227 depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
229 config IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS
230 bool "Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface"
231 depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
232 select IPW2200_RADIOTAP
234 Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
235 This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
238 This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
239 maintaining an active association.
243 % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
247 If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
248 the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
251 % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
254 bool "Enable QoS support"
255 depends on IPW2200 && EXPERIMENTAL
258 bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
261 This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
263 Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
264 debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
265 will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
266 will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
268 If you are not sure, say N here.

319 depends on ISA_DMA_API && WLAN_80211 && (PCI || BROKEN)
323 This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet ISA and
324 PCI 802.11 wireless cards.
325 It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
326 - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
327 acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B).
329 This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
330 and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
331 Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.
333 The driver can be compiled as a module and will be named "airo".
336 tristate "Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)"
337 depends on (PPC_PMAC || PCI || PCMCIA) && WLAN_80211
341 select CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC
343 A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
344 Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
345 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
346 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
347 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
348 Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,

351 IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
353 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
354 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
355 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
357 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
358 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

375 depends on PCI && HERMES
377 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
378 orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
379 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
380 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
381 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
382 MA301 is such an adaptor.
385 tristate "Hermes in TMD7160 based PCI adaptor support"
386 depends on PCI && HERMES
388 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
389 orinoco) driver when used in TMD7160 based PCI adaptors. These
390 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
