tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
---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 ) 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.
