+config NET_RADIO
+ bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions"
+ ---help---
+ 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
+ <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/>.

+config STRIP
+ tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
+ depends on NET_RADIO && INET
+ ---help---
+ 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.
+
+ To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
+ called strip.

+ tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
+ depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT
+ ---help---
+ Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
+ www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
+ This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
+ <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.
+
+ On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
+ time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
