# # Wireless LAN device configuration # comment "Wireless ISA/PCI cards support" depends on NET_RADIO # Good old obsolete Wavelan. config WAVELAN tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support" depends on NET_RADIO ---help--- The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz. This driver support the ISA version of the WaveLAN card. A separate driver for the PCMCIA (PC-card) hardware is available in David Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes> for location). If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific information is contained in <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code <file:drivers/net/wavelan.p.h>. You will also need the wireless tools package available from <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. Please read the man pages contained therein. This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called wavelan.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. # 802.11b cards config AIRO tristate "Cisco/Aironet 34X/35X/4500/4800 ISA and PCI cards" depends on NET_RADIO && (ISA || PCI) ---help--- This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet ISA and PCI 802.11 wireless cards. It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco aquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card. The driver can be compiled as a module and will be named "airo.o". config HERMES tristate "Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)" depends on NET_RADIO ---help--- A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based based on the "Hermes" or Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges) - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco, Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya, IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel PRO/Wireless, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others. This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below. You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works : <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html> config APPLE_AIRPORT tristate "Apple Airport support (built-in)" depends on ALL_PPC && HERMES help Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with a non-standard interface config PLX_HERMES tristate "Hermes in PLX9052 based PCI adaptor support (Netgear MA301 etc.) (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on PCI && HERMES && EXPERIMENTAL help Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka orinoco_cs) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear MA301 is such an adaptor. Support for these adaptors is so far still incomplete and buggy. You have been warned. config PCI_HERMES tristate "Prism 2.5 PCI 802.11b adaptor support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on PCI && HERMES && EXPERIMENTAL help Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of this variety. # If Pcmcia is compiled in, offer Pcmcia cards... comment "Wireless Pcmcia/Cardbus cards support" depends on NET_RADIO && PCMCIA # Obsolete cards config PCMCIA_NETWAVE tristate "Xircom Netwave AirSurfer Pcmcia wireless support" depends on NET_RADIO && PCMCIA help Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of PCMCIA (PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer. This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called netwave_cs.o.

It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
