Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
|
|
but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.
|
|
|
|
Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates
|
|
/proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless
|
|
Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user
|
|
space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs.
|
|
The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the
|
|
variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as
|
|
the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that
|
|
these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the
|
|
driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with
|
|
wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch
|
|
the tools from
|
|
<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
|
|
|

Some user-level drivers for scarab devices which don't require

special kernel support are available from

Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
|
|
IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
|
|
(on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
|
|
traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
|
|
powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
|
|
weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
|
|
"Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
|
|
many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
|
|
phone line and use it as a modem.)
|
|
|
|
You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
|
|
it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
|
|
think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
|
|
in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
|
|
bigger.

Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the

<http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.

The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter

is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
